Hello guys,
recently I decided to delete alot of beatmaps in my osu! client using the "Delete all visible maps option". However later in the Edit-tab I found out that there are alot of "empty" beatmaps left (you can find them if you search for bpm=0).
Later I found out that those beatmaps still have .mp3, video and image files left in their folders, which often do not contain any .osu difficulties at all.
What does that mean?
It means you have song folders without beatmaps, which include audio, video and image files that take up space on your harddrive. So I decided to get rid of all of those folders without a .osu file and wrote a little program to aid my cause.
So I present to you: osu!cleaner
How to use:
Warning: If you use your songs folder for anything else than songs or have some self-made beatmaps I would advise you to save them before you run this program, as some of them may not contain .osu files and will get deleted in the process. Usually those are the beatmaps without a number in the name of their folder.
So I hope you like this program and can use your harddrive space for beatmaps that you can actually play osu! with
Best Regards

How to use:
- Download the program to your Desktop
- Open your command prompt (Windows: Windows Key -> type cmd -> press enter)
- Change your path to your Desktop path (example: "cd Desktop" or "cd C:/Users/YourName/Desktop")
- Type "java -jar osu!cleaner.jar"
- Enter your osu! song folder (example: C:/osu!/Songs) (I've taken measures to make sure that it only runs if you enter a pathname which includes "osu!" and "songs", so you dont delete everything with it)
- Enter "y" if you want to proceed, else enter "n"
- Press enter to proceed (triple security for you )
- After that it will print a list of those beatmaps which got deleted.
