remove-files-webpack-plugin

A webpack plugin for removing files and folders before and after compilation. Current stable version is 1.5.0, released 2021-04-12. Supports webpack >= 2.2.0 and Node >= 8.3.0. Ships TypeScript types. Key differentiators: supports before, after, and watch compilation modes; handles symbolic links as ordinary files; works on all OS with platform-specific path handling. Unlike clean-webpack-plugin, it allows granular control over which files to remove and supports watch mode cleanup. Development appears dormant since 2021.
