Answer 1

You can use this to delete multiple files (for linux env ES6 syntax)

import {execSync} from "child_process";
...

...
const files = ['file1.js', 'file2.jpg', 'file3.css'];
// just example path
const rootDir = '/var/www/files/';
if (files.length > 0)
    execSync('rm -f' + files.map(o => rootDir + o.replace(/(\s+)/g, '\\$1')).join(' '));

rm -f to ignore if files are missing and replace to escape spaces if file names contains it,
