File Cleanup VBScript

This VBScript is designed to count and delete garbage files from a directory and its subdirectories. Garbage files are defined as those with ".tmp" or ".bak" extensions.

Usage

Download the Script: Download the cleanup.vbs script file to your system.
Run the Script:
- Open a command prompt (cmd) as an administrator.
- Navigate to the location where you saved the index.vbs file.
- Run the script using the command cscript index.vbs.

Features:

Count Garbage Files:

' Count garbage files
CountGarbageFiles objFSO.GetSpecialFolder(0) ' 0 represents the Desktop folder

This function counts the garbage files in the directory and its subdirectories.

Delete Garbage Files:

' Call the function to search and delete garbage files
SearchAndDeleteGarbageFiles objFSO.GetSpecialFolder(0) ' 0 represents the Desktop folder

This function searches for and deletes garbage files from the directory and its subdirectories.

Determine if a File is Garbage:

Function IsGarbageFile(objFile)
    Dim extension
    extension = LCase(objFSO.GetExtensionName(objFile.Path))
    IsGarbageFile = (extension = "tmp" Or extension = "bak")
End Function

This auxiliary function determines if a file is garbage based on its extension.

Customization:

You can customize this script by modifying the following parts:

The file extensions considered as garbage (tmp and bak) in the IsGarbageFile function.
The actions performed on the garbage files found in the SearchAndDeleteGarbageFiles function, such as deletion or logging.

Notes

Make sure to run the script as an administrator to avoid permission issues when deleting files.
Basic error handling is provided to handle potential permission or access denied issues.
