Does anyone knows what "rimraf" means?

Solution 1:

Rimraf

The UNIX command rm -rf for Node.js

Deep deletion (like rm -rf) module for Node.js that provides asynchronous deep- deletion of files and directories.

The rimraf executable is a faster alternative to the rm -rf shell command.

(rm stands for remove, rf stands for recursive force.)

Solution 2:

This is just a guess, but I would say that it is a way to pronounce the command rm -rf (remove, recursive, force removal).
