Directory Deleter Script

A simple Python script that lets you select directories and automatically clear out all the files and folders inside them.

The script remembers your selected directories by saving them in a JSON file so you don’t have to re-enter them every time you run it.

I often find myself running out of storage on my computer and noticed that temp files, cache files, and downloads would pile up over time and take up a lot of unnecessary space. Coming from a creative background, we deal with a lot of temp files and autosaves generated from programs that can quickly become overwhelming. Decided to make this tool to help others dealing with similar issues. Hopefully you'll find this useful!
