how to use the removesync function from the fs-extra library in typescript

Here's an example of using the removeSync function from the fs-extra library in TypeScript:

index.ts
import * as fs from "fs-extra";

const filePath: string = "/path/to/your/file";

try {
  fs.removeSync(filePath);
  console.log(`${filePath} was successfully deleted!`);
} catch (error) {
  console.error(`An error occurred while deleting ${filePath}: ${error}`);
}

The removeSync function deletes the file or directory at the specified path. It is synchronous, which means the code will block until the deletion is complete. If the deletion is successful, it will log a success message to the console. If an error occurs, it will log an error message to the console.

Note that the removeSync function throws an error if the specified path does not exist, or if it points to a non-empty directory. If you want to delete a non-empty directory, you should use the asynchronous remove function instead. You can use the await keyword with remove to wait for the deletion to complete before continuing with the rest of your code.
