This is already built into this library via the npm package del. You can use the dangerouslyAllowCleanPatternsOutsideProject to override.

[maddhruv]

Allow clean patterns outside of process.cwd()

it says this
but clean is by default about output.path
and i dont think this option even saves your project root

I don't really understand this comment.

Currently you cannot remove your project root without setting dangerouslyAllowCleanPatternsOutsideProject: true and dry: false via del.

Have you had an issue with this not working?

[maddhruv]

I haven't enabled these options
but still mistakenly deleted the project's root

Can you provide the options you used to remove your project's root? I'd like to add a test case for this.

@chrisblossom Not sure if thats the same problem, but when I set my config to an empty object like
new CleanWebpackPlugin({}), the build fails (error message here) and the whole project gets wiped.
