However, the scenario I'm talking about is something completely different (I have a ramdisk - so small, only 100mb, where I output a ton of temporary HTML files from the program I'm developing.These add up quickly, so it would be nice to delete them to free space on a constant basis, while leaving the most recent files intact so I can still reference them) | |

Keeping multiple answers separate so votes can be cast for individual recommendations. Having two recommendations in one answer in my opinion, makes little to no sense and goes against how the voting system works. | |
