Create table with information of all the files in specified folders

folder_details.Rd

This function takes a vector of folder paths, retrieves details about files in those folders. Then writes the information to an Excel file. The details include file names, last update timestamps, file sizes proportional sizes to the folder where it is stored, and add a column for potential deletion.

Usage

folder_details(folders, file_path = NULL, units = "bytes", verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

folders

A vector of folder paths.

file_path

The path where the Excel file will be saved.

units

The desired units for file sizes 'bytes' (the default), 'kb', 'mb', or 'gb'.

verbose

A boolean. If TRUE (the default), displays a message confirming successful completion of the process.

Value

None.

Details

Simplifies folder cleaning by generating an Excel file containing details about each file. After creation, the user is required to modify or delete zeros in the delete column for files to be deleted. Finally, call delete_files_from_excel().

Examples

if (FALSE) {
folder_details(c("/path/to/folder1", "/path/to/folder2"),
                file_path = "details.xlsx", units = 'kb')
}
