Is it possible to remove certain files from dist folder after emit?

Try clean-after-emit-webpack-plugin with clean-webpack-plugin.

Thanks for this @flyyang . I installed the clean-after-emit-webpack-plugin and it's working exactly as wanted.
I don't really understand what beforeEmit: false on the clean-webpack-plugin is doing then though. I thought if we set beforeEmit to false that should execute cleaning on the end of emit, but that setting doesn't seem to do anything here. But I might be missing something or doing something wrong.
Anyway, your suggestion works fine, so thanks again!

@Friksel glad it helps.

If you set beforeEmit: false. It will do the cleaning work right alway.
If you set to true. It will do the work before files emitting.
There is no way to clean files after emit.

That's why i wrote the plugin clean-after-emit-webpack-plugin.

@flyyang thanks for the handy plugin!

crazko pushed a commit to crazko/kalendario that referenced this issue Mar 4, 2019
## The devDependency [clean-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/johnagan/clean-webpack-plugin) was updated from `1.0.1` to `2.0.0`.
This version is **not covered** by your **current version range**.

If you don’t accept this pull request, your project will work just like it did before. However, you might be missing out on a bunch of new features, fixes and/or performance improvements from the dependency update.

<summary>Release Notes for v2.0.0</summary>

<p><a href="https://urls.greenkeeper.io/chrisblossom/clean-webpack-plugin/blob/2.0/README.md">README.md</a></p>
<p>Changes:</p>
<ul>
<li>No configuration is needed for standard usage (cleans webpack's <code>output.path</code>)</li>
<li>By default during webpack's watch mode, only files created by webpack are removed</li>
<li>Because <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/del" rel="nofollow">del</a> is used, globbing is supported</li>
<li>Plugin is tested directly via webpack</li>
<li>All supported versions are tested</li>
<li>Windows is tested via <a href="https://www.appveyor.com/" rel="nofollow">appveyor</a> (no mocked tests)</li>
<li>Complete build system including prepublish hooks and git prepush/commit hooks</li>
<li>Written with Typescript</li>
</ul>
<p>Additional notes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Moved to <a href="https://circleci.com/" rel="nofollow">CircleCI</a> because <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18978251" rel="nofollow">Travis CI was sold</a> and <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19218036" rel="nofollow">looks to now be in maintenance mode</a>.</li>
<li>Replaced Coveralls with <a href="https://codecov.io/" rel="nofollow">codecov</a> because automatic build merging works. This is important because of windows/different webpack version testing</li>
</ul>
<p>Please discuss the current API and suggest any changes.</p>
