MPruner

Introduction

MPruner is a script designed to clean up cached files. It allows you to specify a target directory and choose whether to delete all files or only the last modified file in the directory. The operation results, including any errors encountered, are logged to a log file. Multiple directories can be configured for cleaning.

Features

• Configurable Path: Define the target directory through a configuration file.
• Multiple Directories: Configure multiple directories for cleaning.
• Selective Deletion: Choose to delete all files or only the last modified file in the directory.
• Logging: Logs the operation results, including any errors encountered, to a log file.

Requirements

• Go 1.23.0 or later
