# emptyDir(dir, [callback]) Ensures that a directory is empty. Deletes directory contents if the directory is not empty. If the directory does not exist, it is created. The directory itself is not deleted. **Alias:** `emptydir()` **Sync:** `emptyDirSync()`, `emptydirSync()` ## Example: ```js var fs = require('fs-extra') // assume this directory has a lot of files and folders fs.emptyDir('/tmp/some/dir', function (err) { if (!err) console.log('success!') }) ```
