Folder Declutter
Folder Declutter is a command-line and library utility written in Rust that helps you free up disk space by automatically deleting files that haven't been modified in a specified number of days.
Supported Operating Systems:
Linux and macOS only. Windows support will be available in version 2.0
How It Works
- Parameters: The tool accepts two parameters—the target folder path and the file age threshold (in days).
- Cutoff Calculation: It computes a cutoff time by subtracting the provided number of days from the current system time.
- File Deletion: The tool then recursively scans the folder and deletes files whose last modified time is older than the cutoff.
Getting Started
Download and Installation
Execute the commands below:
brew tap ricardodantas/tap
brew install folder-declutter
Scheduling with Cron
To automate the cleanup, add the following entry to your crontab:
0 9 * * * folder-declutter --folder ~/Downloads --older-than-days 7
This cron setup will run Folder Declutter daily, removing files in the specified folder that are older than seven days.
