Here is example by using fs.stat:-

   console.log(stats);//here we got all information of file in stats variable
   if (err) {
       return console.error(err);
   }
     fs.unlink('mycustomfile.csv',function(err){
        if(err) return console.log(err);
        console.log('file deleted successfully');
   });  
});
