what's the different between gulp-clean and del?

del is here

[peter-vilja]

gulp-clean is a gulp plugin whereas del is just a node module. del can be used almost anywhere whereas gulp-clean is more tightly coupled with gulp. Gulp supports async tasks when the task returns a Promise. del returns a Promise which makes it easy to use with gulp. Recommended way to delete files and folders can be found here https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/blob/master/docs/recipes/delete-files-folder.md. (currently it's with del module)
