Description

Hello!

Im trying to run the following script in my packacge.json:

"clean": "shx rm -rf node_modules",

yet when i run it i run into the following error:

shx rm -rf ./node_modules

The system cannot find the path specified.
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! @fuse/typeorm@0.0.24 clean: shx rm -rf ./node_modules
npm ERR! Exit status

The operating system is windows 10.
What might be the issue?
