Cleanup after sandisk and mac

[Zero]

For this to work and not delete your music you must have all your music in the ##music# folder and a mixed media folder for your pictures, videos and your recordings. this batch file deletes all the folders made by the sansa firmware and the macintosh computers and even has a neet polished menu! well enjoy.
to make this u must make a text file called sansa.bat in the root of your mp3 player. paist the following text into that file and save as sansa.bat and the save as type must be set to all files to eleminate the sansa.bat.txt problem. well hope this is useful. and this is for windows computers only.

By the way this will work on any drive letter mp3 player and it only cleans up classic mac crap because i dont know what mac osx junk looks like.
this is ment for the sansa e200v2 nut it might work on others but i dont know. it does not work properly from the sandisk usb connection because sansa firmware hides the ## folders so it cant delete them so you must use the rockbox usb mode for it to work.

By the way Information about other os junk could be used to make it work for more operateing systems.


I fixed a bug where it couldent delete mac os9's hidden files but now it works.

Thanks, but static information really belongs on the wiki.  It will get lost on the forums.  Also, real words please - "you" not "u" etc.

Hint: you can rewrite it in LUA and run the script directly from the player

Um lua i am not firmilure with it. but that would be even better. could anyone tell me  where to learn it? if someone who nows it could rebuild it in lua and poast

[funman]

http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaTutorial should be a good starting point to learn

Also I just thought that the mac files (only some?) should be deleted by the disktidy plugin already.
