Status: Archived personal utility (2023). Preserved as part of my early automation projects; not actively maintained.
A small Python utility created to solve a concrete local file-management problem: identify duplicate files, help choose which copy to keep, and remove empty directories.
- scans a target path for duplicate files;
- lets the user choose which copy to keep;
- includes special handling for a historical backup-folder workflow;
- removes empty directories with a separate script.
This project performs destructive file operations and predates the stronger safety guards I use in newer projects. Back up important data and review the source before running it.
- Install Python.
- Download or clone the repository.
- Set the target path in the script.
- Run the relevant script and review every deletion choice carefully.
It records an early stage of my maker workflow: when repetitive personal tasks became annoying enough, I started writing small tools instead of continuing to do them manually.
