I need to delete only the txt files within a directory (multiple levels). I'd hazard a guess that it's possible with fs-extra... https://github.com/jprichardson/node-fs-extra
But I can't find a solution without specifying the individual file name.
I was hoping to solve it with the following...
fse.remove('./desktop/directory/*.txt')
but unfortunately the asterisk wouldn't select all... as I then could have done something like the following...
fse.remove('./desktop/directory/sub1/*.txt')
fse.remove('./desktop/directory/sub1/sub2/*.txt')
fse.remove('./desktop/directory/sub1/sub2/sub3/*.txt')
fse.remove('./desktop/directory/sub1/sub2/sub3/sub4/*.txt')
Not the cleanest I know... But it's all I've got.
Any help or suggestions on this would be appreciated. Thanks.
If you are using rimraf, You can try this.
const rimraf = require('rimraf');
rimraf.sync('**/*.txt');
rimraf accept glob as the first parameter.
If you want to use it asynchronously, you can even write
rimraf('**/*.txt', options, () => {
console.log('deleted')
})
Though fs-extra uses rimraf internally to delete the file.
