NodeNuker

Introduction

Welcome to NodeNuker! The ultimate solution for developers tired of the gigantic black holes of memory (a.k.a. node_modules and venv folders) that clutter up their projects. If you've ever felt like these folders are larger than actual black holes, this script is your new best friend.

Why NodeNuker?

As a developer, managing disk space is a perpetual struggle. With every project, those node_modules and venv folders grow and grow, consuming precious space. Here's why NodeNuker is a must-have:

Saves Space: Instantly reclaim gigabytes of disk space by removing unnecessary folders.
Cleans Up Projects: Keep your project directories clean and organized.
Effortless: Automate the tedious task of manually deleting these folders.

How to Use

Using NodeNuker is as easy as 1-2-3!

Download the Script: Save the script to a file named NodeNuker.py.
Navigate to the Root Folder: Open your terminal and navigate to the root directory where all your projects are stored.
Run the Script: Execute the script by running python NodeNuker.py.

# Navigate to the root folder containing all your projects
cd /path/to/your/root/folder

# Run NodeNuker
python NodeNuker.py

NodeNuker will then go through each subdirectory and nuke those pesky node_modules and venv folders into oblivion!

The Code

Here's a sneak peek at the magic behind NodeNuker:

import os
import shutil

def delete_folder(folder_path):
    try:
        shutil.rmtree(folder_path)
        print(f"Deleted: {folder_path}")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Failed to delete {folder_path}. Reason: {e}")

def find_and_delete(target_folders):
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk('.'):
        for dir_name in dirs:
            if dir_name in target_folders:
                folder_path = os.path.join(root, dir_name)
                delete_folder(folder_path)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    target_folders = ['node_modules', 'venv']
    find_and_delete(target_folders)

Jokes Corner

Why did the developer go broke? Because they used up all their cache!
What's a developer's favorite type of music? Algo-rhythm.
