A simple tool to scan and remove unwanted directories from your system.
It may takes between 10 or 15 seconds if you pass a path 200Gb and 2 million files. It's really fast if you narrow the search.
It was used as a demo on our internal Golang program. It contains different versions with improvements.
Go to release page and download the binary you need.
