FindZipFilenameAndFolder.zip & FindZipFilenameAndFolder Folder Finder

(1/1)

CodeTRUCKER:
No that is not the latest lousy cryptogram. It is kind of a description of what I am looking for.

Here's the deal... I have amassed a huge number (1+TBs) of archive files (zip, rar, 7z, etc.) which I expanded into folders, but failed to properly delete the temporary folders of the same names. Each time I upgraded my offline storage and computers I always said to myself I'd clean up the mess later. Well, I didn't and it's some years since 1996. Yeah, I know a bunch of them won't even work these days, but that is beside the point.

Can anyone direct me to a special duplicate file/folder finder which will ignore the extension? One which will find the folder name which matches the archive name? Once I can make sure I have the archive file then I can delete the expanded folder. I'm anticipating it will reduce my volume by 60-80 percent (best guess) which will also greatly reduce my disk maintenance and defrag time.

Any ideas?

Thanks for reading. :)

4wd:
PowerShell script: ArcDirMatcher.ps1



As you can see, rather simple.

It outputs to a text file in the archive folder, (ArcDirMatcher.txt), that can be easily edited to a command file and then run to remove the folders.

Sample OutputRem -- Replace 'Matches:' with 'rmdir /s /q' in a text editor,
Rem -- then rename the extension from '.txt' to '.cmd'
Rem -- and run it to remove folders.

CodeTRUCKER:
4wd,

Thank you for such a comprehensive response. I don't pretend to understand it all at first blush, but I will study, try it and report back if I have any specific questions or (hopefully) to report success. I sometimes have seasons where simple coding is almost incomprehensible and my gimpy noodle has been acting up lately. LOL

Thanks again,
Calvin
