App that deletes specific folders on a schedule?

[Nintendo1889]

I'm looking for an app that will delete files from folders I choose on a regular basis and automatically. it doesn't need to or not need to delete the folder since apps will recreate the folders anyway.

For example, every night at 1am delete a
Sdcard/mega/megadownload and tmp and temp and snapseed-(all photos are already going to Google in that example so i don't want to keep an edited photo around forever).

Tasker would probably be overkill, but just about any of the automation apps (Tasker, Llama, Automate-It, etc) should have this ability.

You could do that (and a LOT more) with Tasker. It has a steep learning curve, but this patricular task seems rather simple. I (and no doubt others too) will be happy to help if necessary!

Overkill? Overkill?

Yes ... easily done with Tasker.

Three apps will completely change the way you look at your phone and deal with its capabilities ... Nova Launcher Prime, Pixel Phone Pro, and Tasker.

Tasker is not easy to get into. It is well worth the investment of time. There is help in the Tasker sub-forum of this forum.

The basic Tasker profile to do what you outlined is below.

Profile: tlaDir
Time: 1:00AM
Enter: tlaDir
A1: Delete Directory [ Dir:sdcard/mega/megadownload Recurse:On Use Root:Off Continue Task After Error:On ]
A2: Delete Directory [ Dir:temp Recurse:On Use Root:Off Continue Task After Error:On ]
A3: Delete Directory [ Dir:tmp Recurse:On Use Root:Off Continue Task After Error:On ]
