  3. Call the rmdirSync() function by passing the path of the directory you want to delete as an argument:

    index.tsx
    const dirPath = '/path/to/directory';
    
    try {
      fse.rmdirSync(dirPath, { recursive: true });
      console.log('Directory deleted successfully');
    } catch (err) {
      console.error(err);
    }

    9 lines

    Note that the recursive option must be set to true in order to remove a directory and its contents.

    If the directory is deleted successfully, 'Directory deleted successfully' message will be printed to the console. Otherwise, an error will occur and the error message will be printed to the console.

    It is important to use the try-catch block when calling the rmdirSync() function, as it can throw an error if the directory cannot be deleted for some reason.
