const fs = require('fs-extra')
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// remove file
 | 
						|
fs.remove('/tmp/myfile', err => {
 | 
						|
  if (err) return console.error(err)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  console.log('success!')
 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
fs.remove('/home/jprichardson', err => {
 | 
						|
  if (err) return console.error(err)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  console.log('success!') // I just deleted my entire HOME directory.
 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

fs.remove('/tmp/myfile')
 | 
						|
.then(() => {

  console.log('success!')
 |
