This is super-light C++ project, which lasts roughly 10ms.
To run ClearTemp on Linux, you have to get submodules and then run makefile. You can use the simplified way, or you can do it yourself. To get submodules (JSON), use commands (in ClearTemp folder) git submodule init, git submodule update, then open JSON-lib (libs/json/) and install it with make and make install. Now you have to build ClearTemp. Makefile is in project folder (ClearTemp/Makefile). You can run makefile by command make from project folder (ClearTemp/) and the output will be stored in out/ folder as ClearTemp.
Running ClearTemp on Windows is same as running on Linux, except you have to install compiler(s). My favorite compiler is MinGW AND you have to install CMake. Search for any tutorial on YouTube if needed.
Fuck Windows.
Running can be really simple. If you didn't use ClearTemp before, you'll need to launch configure script to setup libraries. Then you can run build script to compile project. Then the output file should be saved in out/ as ClearTemp...
To run compiled program, you can run it using GitHub Actions' Artifacts (click here, then choose the most recent build and select ClearTemp from Artifacts section) OR you'll have to run it from project directory. If you will not do this (making shortcut etc.), program will probably print "Resource folder not found" (language configuration files weren't found) and end. Running is possible in terminal - still using project directory (the method below is working in Linux terminal and Microsoft powershell (or cmd); if you're using the powershell method, you probably have to use ClearTemp.exe instead of ClearTemp):
./out/ClearTemp [--console] [--username:NAME] [--block:PASSWORD] [--unblock:PASSWORD] [--excex] [--debug] [--exit] [--language:LANG] [--logs]
- --console = show console
- --username:NAME = clear temp of specific user (replace NAME with user's name) !!THIS ISN'T WORKING ON LINUX - DEFAULT TEMP DIRECTORY ON LINUX IS /TMP!!
- --block:PASSWORD = block deleting temp with this program (replace PASSWORD with password for blocking !YOU CAN USE SPECIAL CHARACTERS, BUT AT YOUR OWN RISK!)
- --unblock:PASSWORD = unblock deleting temp with this program (replace PASSWORD with password you used [-block])
- --excex = exiting on exception (that is, whenever a program finds a temporary file that cannot be deleted, it stops)
- --debug = doesn't remove any of your temp file, just tests the program
- --exit = shows exit reasons
- --language:LANG = use more languages (replace LANG with language shortcut; Available: EN, CZ)
- --logs = uses log files generated in logs/ The args in square brackets aren't required, and you also don't need to use both of them. I am not responsible for any misuse. Use this program only with the permission of the user to whom you are deleting temporary files. I am developing this program on Linux (Arch), but it should work perfectly on Windows, too.
