meural_clean_uploads.py

'''
Netgear Meural mobile app or web interface doesn't give the ability easily delete all the user uploaded items which are not in any of the playlists.
When you delete a playlist, it doesn't delete the items from the playlist and they consume the limited upload space for the user.
Use this file to identify all the uploaded items curently not part of any playlists and delete them to recover some upload space.

usage: python3 meural_clean_uploads.py
