Purge Zims Right After Update #7

Closed jojo2357 closed 1 year ago

jojo2357 commented 1 year ago

I have a fairly large library which I updated (so awesome btw)

I did some by hand before discovering the script, but I still had

69.3G
44.5G
30.5G
21.9G
15.5G
31.2G
~5G

~= 220G

And the script skipped Wikipedia (~93G) which I had done by hand.

The issue I barely missed? Running out of disk space. The script downloaded all the new zims and then removed the old ones. I think it would be better to download one, delete one, download one, delete, etc. That way I would (in the worst case) have needed 93G instead of 310G of free disk.

Good suggestion and I see your point. Let me see what I can do.
