        new RemovePlugin({
            before: {
                // parameters for "before normal compilation" stage.

    ]
};

Notes

Symbolic links

Symbolic links (soft links) will be treated as ordinary files.

Notes for Windows users

Single backward slash

JavaScript uses it for escaping. If you want to use backward slash, then use double backward slash. Example: C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe. By the way, single forward slashes are also supported.

Segment separator

All paths that you get or see from the plugin will contain platform-specific segment separator (i.e. slash): \\ on Windows and / on POSIX. So, for example, even if you passed folders or files with / as separator, TestObject.method will give you a path with \\ as segment separator.

Per-drive working directory

From Node.js documentation:

On Windows Node.js follows the concept of per-drive working directory. This behavior can be observed when using a drive path without a backslash. For example, path.resolve('c:\\') can potentially return a different result than path.resolve('c:'). For more information, see this MSDN page.
