async-await (promise)

If no callback is passed, a promise is returned. Returns the array of deleted directories.

(async () => {
  let deleted = await deleteEmpty('foo');
  console.log(deleted); //=> ['foo/aa/', 'foo/a/cc/', 'foo/b/', 'foo/c/']
})();

// or
deleteEmpty('foo/')
  .then((deleted) => console.log(deleted)) //=> ['foo/aa/', 'foo/a/cc/', 'foo/b/', 'foo/c/']
  .catch(console.error);

sync

Returns the array of deleted directories.

console.log(deleteEmptySync('foo/')); //=> ['foo/aa/', 'foo/a/cc/', 'foo/b/', 'foo/c/']
