# This script is designed to manage and clean up old directories and files within the ./downloads folder and ./uploads folder.
# Its primary purpose is to delete directories and their contents that are older than 1 week (168 hours) to free up disk space
# and maintain a clean file system. This script will iterate through all the folders in the /data/downloads folder
# and delete all sub-folders and files if the folder was created more than 1 week ago for ./downloads folder
# or 4 days ago for ./uploads folder. 

# Define path to the downloads directory
download_folder="/data/downloads/"

# Traverse the download and remove directories older than cutoff time
# -mindepth 1: Excludes the top-level directory, includes only subdirectories
