How to get rid of Error removing file: [Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, unlink] error from node fs

Question

This is the code

const express = require("express");
const multer = require("multer");
const path = require("path");
const sharp = require("sharp");
const fs = require("fs");
const cron = require('node-cron')
const app = express();

const storage = multer.diskStorage({
  destination: function (req, file, cb) {
    cb(null, "./profiles");
  },
  filename: function (req, file, cb) {
    cb(
      null,
      file.fieldname + "-" + Date.now() + path.extname(file.originalname)
    );
  },
});

const upload = multer({ storage: storage });

app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: false }));

app.post("/file-upload", upload.single("profile"), async (req, res) => {
  try {
    // Read uploaded image using sharp
    const inputFile = req.file.path;
    const outputFile = "cprofiles/" + req.file.filename;

    // Resize and crop the image to a certain width (e.g., 300px)
    await sharp(inputFile)
      .resize({ width: 300, height: 300, fit: "cover" })
      .toFile(outputFile);

    fs.unlinkSync(inputFile);
    
    res.send("Image uploaded and cropped successfully");
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
    res.status(500).send("Error uploading and cropping image");
  }
});

const folderPath = "./profiles";

cron.schedule("*/1 * * * *", () => {
  fs.readdir(folderPath, (err, files) => {
    if (err) {
      console.error("Error reading folder:", err);
      return;
    }

    // Iterate over each file and remove it
    files.forEach(file => {
      const filePath = path.join(folderPath, file);
      fs.unlink(filePath, err => {
        if (err) {
          console.error("Error removing file:", err);
          return;
        }
        console.log(`File ${filePath} removed successfully`);
      });
    });
  });
});

app.listen(4000, () => {
  console.log("@ 4000");
});
