Delete Stale Large Files Automatically
Reclaim storage by purging old large files you no longer need
Nora scans Drive for files larger than 100MB that haven't been accessed in 90+ days and alerts you. Approve the deletion once and Nora moves them to Trash automatically.
Storage fills up fast with video, archives, and raw datasets. Nora runs weekly and identifies large files (you set the threshold, e.g., 50MB+) that haven't been opened in 90+ days. It groups them by folder and size, showing you exactly how much space you'd recover. You review the list, mark files to delete, and Nora moves them to Trash. Nora preserves files in protected folders (e.g., Final Projects, Client Deliverables) unless you explicitly allow cleanup there. This is perfect for teams with shared drives and tight storage budgets, or anyone hoarding video/dataset files.
How it works
- Scan Drive for files larger than configurable threshold (e.g., 100MB)
- Check last access date for each file
- Filter for files untouched in 90+ days
- Group results by folder and size for review
- Send approval request with storage savings estimate
- Move approved files to Trash after user confirmation
