Removing old files when compiling #20

Closed rasmuswoelk closed 8 years ago

Hi

I'm using your plugin for versioning on my site but after a lot of saves I get a lot of cached files in my build-folder, which goes to github.

I'm kinda new to webpack but I was hoping there is some solution that deletes all files in the folder when it generates new hashed-files. Is is possible in some way?

Thanks!

@danethurber but doesnt this remove the whole folder? doesnt make this the whole "chunkhash blabla" in the filename obsolete? So the browser has to load ALL again? Am i wrong?

Edit: Ahh i see, it removes the whole folder but it generates new files but with "old" hashes in the name, exept this files which was altered!
