tags: declutter user data management empty hidden directories drives archive archiving mismatch mismatched deduplicate deduplicating deduplication dryrun

overview: A lightweight script to perform a variety of tasks allowing an

admin to manage user-generated data - moving or deleting it.

Functionality includes: archiving data using before or after

dates, cleaning mismatched data between directories or drives,

deduplicating data between one or two directories, and removal

of empty directories. Additional features include: each action

being able to ignore data by data specifications, optional

inclusion of hidden files and directories, ability to test a

run first by operating in a 'dryrun' mode, move or delete the

targeted data, and manipulation of directory paths when moving

targeted data.
