Mdx: Attempting to `npm i` on Windows 10 fails due to clean step

[aseeeem]

Hey all -

So I wanted to build locally to see if I could tackle an issue! I tried to npm i after cloning but ran into an issue where the scoped package @mdx-js/tag uses a clean step that doesn't work on Windows machines

> @mdx-js/[email protected] prepublish C:\Users\Asim\projects\opensource\mdx\packages\tag
> npm run clean && npm run build


> @mdx-js/[email protected] clean C:\Users\Asim\projects\opensource\mdx\packages\tag
> rm -rf dist

Above is the error output. Unfortunately, to my knowledge the rm -rf command on Windows 10 is rm -Recurse -Force because... well I wish I knew!

Anyhoo as far as suggestions go, the rimraf package works like a charm but its up to you!

Where the rm -rf is being invoked

Let me know if there's anything I can provide to help this issue further! I'd love to help

[silvenon]

Please, go ahead and implement rimraf instead, that would be great!

On it!
