Remove directory which is not empty

There is a module for this called rimraf (https://npmjs.org/package/rimraf). It provides the same functionality as rm -Rf

Async usage:

var rimraf = require("rimraf");
rimraf("/some/directory", function () { console.log("done"); });

Sync usage:

rimraf.sync("/some/directory");

As of Node.js 14.14.0, the recommended way is to use fs.rmSync:

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