how to use the unlinksync function from fs-extra in javascript

To use the unlinkSync function in fs-extra module in Node.js, first, you need to install it using npm as:

npm install fs-extra

Then, you can use it in your JavaScript code as:

index.tsx
const fs = require('fs-extra');

try {
  // Delete a file synchronously
  fs.unlinkSync('/path/to/file');

  console.log('File removed successfully');
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err);
  // handle the error
}

12 lines

Here, fs.unlinkSync() deletes a file synchronously from the specified path. It throws an error if the file cannot be removed. Therefore, you enclose it in a try-catch block to handle the error properly.

Also, note that this is a synchronous operation, so it blocks the execution until the deletion is complete. In case you want to delete multiple files asynchronously, you should use the unlink function instead, which is the asynchronous version of unlinkSync.
