Is rm -rf too boring for you? burn_directory.py lets you watch as your files are slowly and cathartically burnt away.

Example gif of burn_directory

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.

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.
