To remove a file, we can use the unlinkSync()
function from the fs
(filesystem) module Node.js. This will synchronously remove the file.
// Remove file synchronously
fs.unlinkSync("file.txt");
For exampe let's consider a file called file.txt
like this,
// require fs module
const fs = require("fs");
// path
const path = "file.txt";
Now let's use the fs.unlinkSync()
function and
- pass the path as the first argument
to the function like this,
// require fs module
const fs = require("fs");
// path
const path = "file.txt";
// remove file by passing path
// as the first argument to the function
fs.unlinkSync(path);
See this example live in repl.it.
