clean-asd

Recursively remove Ableton .asd files.

Why

Ableton .asd files are small analysis files automatically generated by Ableton Live for each audio clip. They can safely be deleted to free up space or clean sample folders.

Installation

Clone the repository and make the script available as a global command:

chmod +x clean-asd.py
sudo cp clean-asd.py /usr/local/bin/clean-asd

Usage

To delete all .asd files recursively inside --dir directory, run:

clean-asd --dir=path/to/files

If you want to list the files before deletion, use --dry-run flag:

clean-asd --dir=path/to/files --dry-run
