Cleanup data

If you want to cleanup your data (perhaps you have finished your work, and would like to save some disk space), you can run kerblam data clean.

Kerblam! will remove:

• All temporary files in ./data/;
• All output files in ./data/out;
• All empty (even nested) folders in ./data/ and ./data/out. This essentially only leaves input data on the dist.

To additionally clean remotely available data (to really put a project in cold storage), pass the --include-remote flag.

Kerblam! will consider as "remotely available" files that are present in the data.remote section of kerblam.toml. See this chapter of the book to learn more about remote data.

If you want to preserve the empty folders left behind after cleaning, pass the --keep-dirs flag to do just that.

Kerblam! will ask for your confirmation before deleting the files. If you're feeling bold, skip it with the --yes flag.

With the --preserve-output flag, Kerblam! will skip deleting the output files.

Dry runs

With the --dry-run option, Kerblam! will just show the list of files to be deleted, without actually deleting anything:

> kerblam data clean --dry-run
Files to clean:
data/temp.csv
data/out/finala.txt
