# RemoveOldFiles

Use Svendsen Tech's `Remove-OldFiles` function to delete files based on date logic with time granularity ranging from milliseconds to months, and an optional file name regex filter.

Removes files that are "older" than the specified number of milliseconds,
seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks or months - or a combination of any
of these, as calculated based on the "LastWriteTime" property returned from Get-Item, for determining "age". All the specified time units are added together.

Optional file name filtering with a regular expression, otherwise all files are targeted.

Optional recursion. Resolve-Path support that allows for directories for instance two levels deep with something like `-Path C:\foo\*\*`.

The times specified from ms to months are all cumulated and added together to
form a large decimal-typed millisecond number. Time units are converted to milliseconds and handled with .NET date
math. This should also account for the corner cases of leap seconds as of v1.1.0 of the module. In v1.0 (as currently in the
PSGallery; working on publishing the updated one), only months are handled with .NET date math.

You can specify a `-NameRegexMatch` parameter to only target only file names
that match this regular expression. The default is simply `.*`.

This regex always matches, so name filtering is in effect not enabled by default unless you override with this
parameter. NB! It is not wildcards such as for the `-like` operator, but regular
expressions, such as for the `-match` operator, so make sure you test and know that the results are as expected. I plan to implement a
`-NameWildcardMatch` parameter, but might put it off for years, knowing myself. Demand helps...

It supports -WhatIf in a non-proper implementation currently (but functionally not
too different, it was just a bit easier and also caused by a now gone, dead end in code).
I'm in two minds about changing it to the proper implementation, but will likely do it soon for
assumed broader acceptance of the code.

# Installation from the PowerShell Gallery

The module is published to the PowerShell Gallery, so you can install it with for instance this command for your user only:

`Install-Module -Name RemoveOldFiles -Scope CurrentUser #-Force`

Or you can download it with:

`Save-Module -Name RemoveOldFiles -Path C:\Scripts`

And inspect it first with:

`Find-Module -Name RemoveOldFiles | Format-List *`

# Examples

```
