was searching for this issue, have to manually rebuild locally after deleting a file

watcher.on("change", async (path) => {
  this.logger.forceLog(`File changed: ${path}`);
  await watchRun(path);
});

watcher.on("add", async (path) => {
  this.logger.forceLog(`File added: ${path}`);
  this.fileSystemSearch.add(path);
  await watchRun(path);
});

watcher.on("unlink", (path) => {
  // this.logger.forceLog(`File removed: ${path}`);
  this.fileSystemSearch.delete(path);
});

process.on("SIGINT", () => this.stopWatch());

The issue here is a bit bigger picture than the simple code change at #3482 suggests, it’s a larger architectural issue that Eleventy doesn’t remove anything in the output directory: #19

Deleting a file can re-run the build, but that file will still exist in the output directory.
