Where do I find folders on my computer that have only five items in them?
Where do I find folders on my computer that have only five items in them?
Yes. But that question looks like homework, and the rules on the forum say we can't give it out to people. Even though I don't know what the real answer is from here, you need to figure things yourself based on your own ideas about the rule. What would you do if you had to do something like that? Show me all your work and use references if needed. Then post your answer back there.
Okay so here is why: a family member has a huge picture folder with way too many subfolders and lots of photos inside each one. She needs to clean it up by only saving pictures that are five or more in count per folder, moving any folders with fewer than five images back to the main root folder and then deleting those empty folders. But she can't do this automatically right now; I will just handle it manually once we figure out which specific folders need cleaning. She's thinking TreeSize Free might be able to help us automate the process.
The situation gets a bit complicated because of the context, but figuring out where folders are and how many files there are is still quite similar to before. There are just a few extra steps needed here. The idea project you have should be planned ahead in small pieces so you can stop if something goes wrong. Don't do big "mass" moves that could fail without being caught. Since I don't know what product you mean, I'll let people who know it better take care of that part. Here are some more ideas: 1) Make sure all the photo folders are saved on a different computer and drive than your current one. Check that every file is safe to fix and can actually be seen. 2) Moving files is dangerous. Just copy them first instead of moving them directly. If something breaks during a move, you could lose the whole thing forever. 3) Be careful with third-party software; it might have bugs, get corrupted, hide viruses, or mess up your computer system. 4) Don't leave any files in the top-level folder (the root). Instead, make a new special folder and put only the chosen pictures there.
