This is a small utility I'm working on to free up disk space on my Surface machine which has a relatively small 256GB drive. My main repo folder has large package/, bin/ and obj/ folders that accumulate a lot of stuff that doesn't need to be there all the time. There might something out there that already does this nicely, but as usual, this is just something I like working on.
This makes use of my WinForms.Library project to handle the form data binding with a ControlBinder<T> object, incidentally. I'm also using my JsonSettings.Library project to handle settings persistence in json. My Settings model is here.
private void frmMain_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
var monthValues = new int[] { 3, 6, 9, 12 }.Select(i => new ListItem<int>(i, i.ToString()));
_settings = SettingsBase.Load<Settings>();
_binder = new ControlBinder<Settings>();
_binder.Add(tbSourcePath, model => model.SourcePath);
_binder.Add(chkDelete, model => model.Delete);
_binder.Add(chkDeleteBinObj, model => model.DeleteBinAndObj);
_binder.Add(chkDeletePackages, model => model.DeletePackages);
_binder.AddItems(cbDeleteMonths,
(model) => model.DeleteMonthsOld = cbDeleteMonths.GetValue<int>(),
(model) => cbDeleteMonths.SetValue(model.DeleteMonthsOld), monthValues);
_binder.Add(chkArchive, model => model.Archive);
_binder.Add(tbArchivePath, model => model.ArchivePath);
_binder.AddItems(cbArchiveMonths,
(model) => model.ArchiveMonthsOld = cbArchiveMonths.GetValue<int>(),
(model) => cbArchiveMonths.SetValue(model.ArchiveMonthsOld), monthValues);
_binder.Document = _settings;
chkArchive_CheckedChanged(null, new EventArgs());
chkDelete_CheckedChanged(null, new EventArgs());
}I'm also using WinForm.Library's EnumFiles method to find bin and obj directories. The base implementation looks like this:
public IEnumerable<string> GetSubfoldersNamed(string parentPath, string[] includeNames, string[] excludeNames = null)
{
List<string> results = new List<string>();
FileSystem.EnumFiles(parentPath, "*", directoryFound: (di) =>
{
if (includeNames.Any(name => di.Name.Equals(name)) && (excludeNames?.All(name => !di.FullName.Contains(name)) ?? true))
{
results.Add(di.FullName);
return EnumFileResult.NextFolder;
}
return EnumFileResult.Continue;
});
return results;
}
