Ignore files for the npm build

When I build my React app using npm run-script build there are a folder and a file that I don't want to be there. Is there a way to ignore the file and the folder during the npm run-script build? I know there are the .gitignore and the .npmignore but there are used to ignore the files only for the publication (not the build).

Thank you.

I know it's a pretty old thread, but like I faced recently this problem, so I think this might help others.

Like Thottle mentioned in a comment, using rm -rf ./filePathToExclude pattern in build scripts can help. The only change that worked for me was to put rm -rf /.filePathToExclude before react-scripts build.

The final build script that worked for me (for excluding .env file, that is in the same directory as package.json) was rm -rf ./.env && react-scripts build.
