 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-01-29 - 11.1.9 - fix(fs)
+Fix directory handling in copy and copySync functions
+
+- Ensured existing directories at destination are removed before copying over them in async copy.
+- Added a similar check and handling for synchronous copySync when destination is a directory.
+
 ## 2025-01-29 - 11.1.8 - fix(fs)
 Fixed copy and copySync functions to ensure they always overwrite files.
