remove() doesn't delete a subfolder inside my project folder. What is wrong here ?

• Operating System: Win 10 64 bit
• Node.js version: 8.7.0
• fs-extra version: 5.0.0

I am trying to delete a non-empty subfolder which is inside my project directory but i can’t seem to delete it with fs.remove(folderPath). The code runs with no errors but the folder is still there and i can’t even delete it manually unless i first empty the folder and delete all the files in there. I get a permission related error when i try to directly delete the folder even though i am the owner/admin. Could it be a permissions related issue ?

I’m seeing a similar problem on Windows. Every now and again in the test suite, it fails to remove a directory because it claims the directory is not empty. But when the process completes, the directory is gone. So could it be that there’s a race condition or that it’s a false warning?

Error: ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty, rmdir ...
at Object.fs.rmdirSync (fs.js:846:18)
at rmkidsSync (node_modules\fs-extra\lib\remove\rimraf.js:304:27)

@Inve1951 it can lead to issues like command injection.

childProcess.exec() is a bash interpreter, not a program launcher.
