Delete files older than X days
05-04-2021
opschonen.sh
Handy for Octopi and cleaning work folders.Deletes files older than 5 days:
find . -mtime +5 -exec rm {} \;
Sometimes I have to do this to delete old files I uploaded to Octoprint.From my crontab I call a script every hour to clean up my temporary folder: I throw away all files older than 10 days:
# !/bin/bash
#Delete files from ff folder older than 10 days
find /media/marcel/4TB/ff -mtime +10 -exec rm {} \;
How to use
Place the script in a file opschonen.sh and make it executable with:chmod +x opschonen.sh
Run the script from inside a terminal window:./opschonen.sh
Automatic
Put this script in crontab so that it runs automatically periodically:crontab -e
