Is this a regression?

Yes, this broke in 12.1.0 (so 12.0.0 worked) and is "related" to #21049 (but it looks like it's a bug(?)/change in Node and might also break rimraf).

Description

When trying to build on a clean environment (such as a CI) the builder will try to delete the output path which does not exist. On Node 16 this is an error and {recursive: true} does not silence this error.

A clear and concise description of the problem...

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

docker run --rm node:latest -e 'fs.rmdirSync("/this/does/not/exist", {recursive: true, maxRetries: 3})'
node:internal/fs/utils:343
    throw err;
    ^

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/this/does/not/exist'

    at __node_internal_ (node:internal/fs/utils:767:8)

}

🔥 Exception or Error

output is from docker build with buildkit so that's the prefix

Anything else relevant?

Running with --no-delete-output-path will fix the error.
