akregator_clean

When a feed subscription in Akregator is deleted, the corresponding Metakit-File will remain. akregator_clean_orphans.py searches for these orphan MK4-Files with no subscription and reports or deletes them.

Requirements

• KDE Plasma 5
• Python >= 3.2

Usage

Please close Akregator beforehand!

$ python3 akregator_clean_orphans.py -h

usage: akregator_clean_orphans.py [-h] [-l] [-b] [-d]

List all MK4-Files within "/home/username/.local/share/akregator/Archive/"
without being found in the "/home/username/.local/share/akregator/data/feeds.opml".
These are most likely orphans from deleted subscriptions.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help    show this help message and exit
  -l, --long    list orphan MK4-Files with full path
  -b, --broken  list entries found in the OPML with no corresponding MK4-File
  -d, --delete  delete orphan MK4-Files to Trash

Notes

• Works and (eyeball)tested on KDE Plasma 5 with a few hundred MK4-Files.
• This script was born out of the need from an old (apparently fixed) bug that would crash Akregator with an overfull Archive-Directory.
• Just change the path accordingly and it should work with KDE4.
