Hey, @Bhavya0304 So do we have to add the name or path of each unwanted file or what?

No, basically It will automatically get all the files from desktop recursively (files from folder included) and will show you all the files that are not being modified from a long time. So you can keep a track of unused files. Also the script provides you with a option to delete it.

I would like to work on this, can this be assigned to me?

Also, is it last modified or last access time to be considered for checking?
