3. Use unlinkSync function to delete a file synchronously:

try {
    fs.unlinkSync('/path/to/file');
    console.log('File deleted successfully.');
} catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
}

The unlinkSync function deletes a file asynchronously. If the file is successfully deleted, the message "File deleted successfully." will be logged to the console. If there is an error when deleting the file, the error message will be logged to the console using console.error(err).

Note: Using unlinkSync function to delete a file synchronously can cause your program to block until the deletion is complete. It is recommended to use the asynchronous version, unlink, instead.
