Fixes #175
Saw #175 come by in my feed. Have successfully solved this with the
rimrafnpm package which is one of the suggestions in the top Stack Overflow post on the subject, but I personally agree with the lower voted answer that for such a simple task using a package with less dependencies seems preferable.I've tested this on my Windows 10 machine, not yet on any Linux VM (nor did I see any CI or GitHub actions in this repo to verify it?). Will first see what the maintainers think of this approach.
If you don't like this approach: no harm done! Your call.
(I realize the title of #175 is "Powershell support", but I took it to be in general about cross-OS and cross-shell support. It should also work with
cmd, right?)
