Cleanup of unwanted files

file_cleanup.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

path = '/Volumes/Downloads/Cleanup/'

Dir.foreach(path) do |item|
	next if item == '.' or item == '..'

	puts item

	item_dir = path + item
	if File.directory?(item_dir)

		# Inside folder
		Dir.foreach(item_dir) do |file|
			next if file == '.' or file == '..'
			if file.end_with?('.nfo', '.jpg') and not file.start_with?('fanart','movie')
				to_delete = item_dir + '/' + file
				if File.exists?(to_delete)
					# Un comment to actually delete
					# File.delete(to_delete)
					puts "Deleted:  #{to_delete}"
				end
			end

	end

If this is something you're doing often, try out Hazel. I use it to keep my folders clean of junk.

Hazel looks pretty cool. This was created while using Ember Media Manager. I was trying to clean up my digital movie collection. I really want to make a good OS X version of Ember MM.
