delete a folder in javascript

javascript node js 6 years, 3 months ago

// Delete the files recursively. //fs is a built in node module. const fs = require('fs'); //path is a built in node module. const ePath = require('path'); const pathSeperator = ePath.sep; function deleteFiles(path) { let files = fs.readdirSync(path); for (const file of files) { const filePath = `${path}${pathSeperator}${file}`;// es6 conventions if (fs.existsSync(filePath) && fs.lstatSync(filePath).isDirectory()) { deleteFiles(filePath); } else { fs.unlinkSync(filePath); } } files = fs.readdirSync(path); if (files.length === 0) { fs.rmdir(path); } }

fs.rmdir deletes the directory only if it empty. So for that we have to delete the files recursively and then empty folders.
If you don't want to work with path module in node js try to replace os specific path seperator and check
Happy Coding :-)
