Until now in Node 8.x, we CANNOT directly delete a folder with the sub folders with files. I'm not sure whether we can offer such a function because this is a common behaviour to delete a folder that is NOT empty (Considering the performance, we can write our core codes at C++ layer, and call it through js aspect).
For we've got rmdirSync or rmdir, maybe we can add an optional parameter to choose whether we allow to remove sub files/folders for the parent folder itself or not (In order to be compatible with it, the default value should be false, this means when you remove a folder that isn't empty, error will be thrown out like what can see now), something like this following：
import { rmdirSync } from "fs";
rmdirSync('d:/tryme',true); // The second parameter will let you allow to delete a folder that isn't empty, the default value is false.PS：I know that some 3-rd parties have implemented this, but it would be better inject it into the nodejs's fs module, which is very useful and pratical.
