About:
Rmrfrs is a command-line utility designed to safely remove files and directories based on customizable criteria. It provides a more robust alternative to standard removal commands by incorporating safety checks and flexible filtering options. The tool helps prevent accidental data loss while streamlining the cleanup of unwanted files from a filesystem.
Key Features:
  • Safe deletion with confirmation prompts
  • Flexible file filtering using patterns and criteria
  • Recursive directory cleaning capabilities
  • Cross-platform support for Unix-like systems
Use Cases:
  • Cleaning temporary files and build artifacts from development projects
  • Removing old log files or backups to free up disk space
  • Bulk deleting files matching specific patterns from a directory tree
Alternatives:
  • rm – Standard Unix command; less safe by default and lacks built-in filtering
  • find – More versatile for complex searches but requires more complex syntax for deletion
