The **remove‑files‑webpack‑plugin** is a Webpack plugin that automatically deletes (or moves to the OS trash) specified files and directories at defined points of the build process—before, during watch builds, or after compilation. It’s aimed at developers who need to clean up output folders (e.g., old assets, source‑maps, temporary files) as part of their Webpack workflow, with configurable inclusion/exclusion patterns, custom test functions, and logging options.
