How does fs.rm work?

const fs = require("fs");

fs.rm("example.txt", (err) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log("File removed");
});

In this example, we use fs.rm to remove a file named example.txt. If the file is successfully removed, we log a message saying so to the console. If an error occurs during the removal process, we throw the error.
