Is rm -rf
too boring for you? burn_directory.py
lets you watch as your files are slowly and cathartically burnt away.
Usage
python3 directory_burn.py <directory> --dry-run
(To test out the program without deleting any files)
or
python3 directory_burn.py <directory> --burn-it
(To actually delete the files in said directory)
Or you can run test.sh
to create a test folder and then burn the files inside it.
CTRL-C
or SIGINT
to stop running the program.
Some additional modification can be done by copying config_example.py
to config.py
and editing it.
Other info
This program is simplistic in that it doesn't support recursively deleting directories, etc. This is because I didn't want to be responsible for deleting someone's entire file system. Either way though, use this program with caution, I made it as a joke.
