hfs.delete(file) throws when file not exists

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat

Other library behaviors

• fs-extra fse.removeSync silent when not exists

And deleting-files did not mention when file not exists
https://github.com/humanwhocodes/humanfs/blob/main/docs/file-operations.md#deleting-files

From the tips part, looks like read(json text bytes) / write / isFile / append allows none existing file.
others delete / size / lastModified / move / copy did not mention.
but size / lastModified / move / copy semantically requires file existance.

the rest delete, if it's designed to not allow delete none-exists file, a tip would be nice.

use fsp.rm(file, { force: true }) to ignore ENOENT error 🤣

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the docs aren't exhaustive at this point as I've still been trying to figure out how things should work.

I have been thinking about delete() for a while but haven't had time to circle back to it. I think I agree, it would be nice not to throw an error when the file is missing, but I'd also like to return a boolean indicating if an action was actually taken (similar to the delete operator in JS).
