Delete Google Drive Files by Date and Type

This project provides a script that allows you to easily delete Google Drive files of a particular date and type in bulk with just one run.

Motivation

I created this script after accidentally uploading millions of dataset photos to my Google Drive while working on a Google Colab project. Google One support was not helpful, and I couldn't find any other way to delete files in bulk without paying. This script helped me efficiently delete those files without the need for manual deletion.

Features

• Delete Google Drive files based on a specific date and file type.
• Bulk deletion with just one run of the script.
