A set of scripts to erase deleted files based on age
Authored by: Oceanhints1 on Mar 31, '07 01:36:41AM

I second DaveRaveMoon, why keep anything inTrash?? A total waste of disk space!

It is there for the simple reason to contain files you no longer wish to keep.

As soon as files are put in it, press Shift-Command-Delete

Files gone! No messing around.

I get people coming to me for help all the time that say "I'm getting a notice that I'm running out of hard drive space? What should I do" and I look and they have a year's worth of files in the trash! Like 10,000 items! I tell them "empty the damn trash already!" They always look surprised... "really?"

Then there's the people who throw files in the trash on a Zip disk, but don't empty it, and wonder why they have no room!

Most of these people were former Windoze users... ;)
