What this script does: Small script that helps you clean-up your system. While you are sorting files you can create folders wherever you are (in this case named 'findtrash') and simply drop your unwanted files in them. If you are done sorting out your files and moving your unwanted files in your trashfinder folders you can run the script and it will delete all folders named trashfinder (so be sure to give your folder an unique name). Why not simply using the trash bin? I do not trust the trashbin from being recovered and I often create more folders named 'findtrash' as I forgot were I put the last one and I am way too lazy to search for it everytime I need it. Therefore this will delete via rm -r command all folders on the system called 'findtrash'. This can be also used as a cronjob script so you do not need to start it manually.

Open your terminal an type in:

git clone https://notabug.org/this-is-kate/Find-My-Trash.git

Confirm with "Enter"

Make script executable with chmod +x find-my-trash.sh

Confirm with "Enter"

Run script: ./find-my-trash.sh.sh

Confirm with "Enter"

Congrats you script is running :) Copyright
