node.js - Remove directory which is not empty

Question

In my Node application I need to remove a directory which has some files, but fs.rmdir only works on empty directories. How can I do this?

Answer 1

As of 2019...

As of Node.js 12.10.0, fs.rmdirSync supports a recursive options, so you can finally do:

fs.rmdirSync(dir, { recursive: true });

Where the recursive option deletes the entire directory recursively.
