nodejs delete folder recursively

To delete a folder recursively in Node.js, you can use the fs-extra module. Follow these steps:

1. Install the fs-extra module by running the command npm install fs-extra in your project directory.
2. Import the module in your code using const fs = require('fs-extra').
3. Use the fs.remove() method to delete the folder recursively. Pass the path of the folder you want to delete as the first argument, and a callback function as the second argument. The callback function will be called once the folder is deleted or if there is an error. Here's an example:

const fs = require('fs-extra');

const folderPath = '/path/to/folder';

fs.remove(folderPath, (err) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } else {
    console.log('Folder deleted recursively!');
  }
});

In this example, replace /path/to/folder with the actual path to the folder you want to delete. If the deletion is successful, the message "Folder deleted recursively!" will be logged to the console. If there is an error, it will be logged to the console using console.error().

That's it! Following these steps will allow you to delete a folder recursively in Node.js using the fs-extra module.
