Delete all content except the folder

[sysoev-dev]

Hello! I'm a beginner and I'm setting up a galp, I need to Del deleted all the files in the folder, but except for one folder that is located with these files.

-images (Home folder)
--photo.jpg
--photo.jpg
--photo.jpg
--icons (The folder you don't need to delete "images/icons")

How to write it down correctly? I have tried many options already and all in vain.
return del('app/images/*', { force: true })

Hi Vadim @sysoev-dev , Well, you can read from the README.md

This is the codes:

const del = require('del');

(async () => {
	const deletedFilePaths = await del(['images/*', '!images/icons']);
	console.log('Deleted files:\n', deletedFilePaths.join('\n'));
})();

It's not working for "!images\icons" or "!images\\icons", Windows backslash.

@itstimetoflow Hi, see the readme under API.

Note that glob patterns can only contain forward-slashes, not backward-slashes. Windows file paths can use backward-slashes as long as the path does not contain any glob-like characters, otherwise use path.posix.join() instead of path.join().
