remove function executes "successfully" but doesn't do anything?

[georgeedwards]

I am using the remove function, which when executed prints "success" to the console. But as you can see below the file path is unchanged. Why? I am using the latest version on Windows 10.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do here... specifically since you're using copy right after remove with the same path. Also, you're using absolute paths, so that seems weird given the path name.

If you're trying to test if remove works, just use remove and then call existsSync on that path.

@jprichardson The remove was for a child directory of the one listed, the idea being to remove something from docs-production and then move what remains elsewhere. I changed it to show in the screenshot. However, I still don't understand why docs-production- still exists inpre-source` after running this file?

You're using absolute paths. That's why. e.g. /pre-source vs pre-source.
