You can use this Script by typing cleanup into the CLI. This will open a prompt asking you to type in an absolute path to the desired directory. This behavior represents the default. There are flags you can use to change that behavior.

The first flag is -D

cleanup -D

This flag will tell the script to clean the Desktop directory.

The second flag is -d

cleanup -d

This flag will tell the script to clean the Downloads directory

The default looks comes with no flag and looks like this

cleanup

This will tell the script to clean the custom directory the user provide in the prompt

The script will creeate an error_log.txt file which stores every file the script couldn't move to a subfolder. Those files will be moved to the Others directory
