FileCleanup CLI is a command-line tool designed to help you manage and maintain your file system by automating the cleanup of unnecessary files and folders. With its flexible configuration options, FileCleanup CLI allows you to define rules for deleting files based on criteria such as retention period, folder size limits, and interval-based deletion.

• Flexible Configuration: Define cleanup rules using a JSON configuration file, allowing you to specify target folders, retention periods, delete intervals, maximum folder sizes, and more.
• Automatic Cleanup: Schedule automatic file cleanup tasks based on your defined rules and intervals, reducing manual intervention and ensuring your file system stays organized and efficient.
• Detailed Logging: Optionally enable detailed logging to track cleanup operations, providing visibility into deleted files, cleanup actions, and any errors encountered during the process.
• Customizable Policies: Tailor cleanup policies to suit your specific requirements, whether you need to enforce strict retention periods, limit folder sizes, or optimize disk space usage.
• Easy Integration: Seamlessly integrate FileCleanup CLI into your existing workflows or scheduled tasks, making it easy to incorporate automated file cleanup into your system maintenance routines.

FileClieanCli generates its configueation upon its first running.
Running go run main.go or fileCleanup will produce the configuration file at the following location:

• windows: C:/windows/$USER/.fileCleanup/fileCleanup.json
• linux: /home/$USER/.fileCleanup/fileCleanup.json

It is possible to alter the configuration path by utilizing the -f flag to access a custom configuration file.

This repo has a file generator to test the behaviour of the file cleanup.
Simple edit FileGenerator with the desired # of files, file size, buffer and target folder.
Simply run

go run fileGenerator/main.go

Example:

go run fileGenerator/main.go
