This guide attempts to describe an typical execution of this script
To download this script, we will be using wget, an application present on most bash compatible systems by default
wget https://github.com/reHackable/scripts/raw/master/host/reclean.sh
From here on, you may opt to copy the script to a path defined in the $PATH variable so that it can be executed directly from the terminal
It is important to note, that the device must remain unlocked until the script has completed
Assuming our device is connected via USB, we may execute the script with no arguments provided
bash reclean.sh
Attempting to establish connection with the device...
Successfully established connection, please do not lock your device until the script has completed!
It will prompt the user whether to check for metadata of deleted documents
Search for metadata from deleted documents [y/N]: y
In this case, we're willing to delete metedata of deleted files, so we'll enter y for yes.
The script will now search for metadata with "deleted": true. Results are then listen and we'll be asked to confirm our actions.
The following deleted documents have been found:
/home/root/.local/share/remarkable/xochitl/b5bd7837-09d6-47db-86b7-e431cb72930e.metadata
Proceed: [y/n]: y
Deleting files...
By entering y, the above listed metadata files will be removed
The script then asks whether to look for files that have no metadata assigned
Search for files and directories without metadata [y/N]:
Once again we agree by entering y. Shall the script find any documents, they'll be listed in similar manor as the metadata files have been above.
If however, no files have been found, the script will not attempt to delete anything and finish.
Searching for junk...
No deleted documents found, nothing to clean here...
