Manage old recordings — find large files, archive old meetings, delete processed originals. Use when the user says "clean up recordings", "how much space are meetings using", "delete old recordings", "archive meetings", "manage meeting storage", or asks about disk space from minutes.
Help the user manage disk space and organize old recordings.
# Total disk usage for meetings
du -sh ~/meetings/
# Breakdown: audio vs transcripts
echo "Audio files:"; find ~/meetings -name "*.wav" -exec du -ch {} + 2>/dev/null | tail -1
echo "Transcripts:"; find ~/meetings -name "*.md" -exec du -ch {} + 2>/dev/null | tail -1
# Count by type
echo "Meetings: $(find ~/meetings -maxdepth 1 -name '*.md' | wc -l | tr -d ' ')"
echo "Memos: $(find ~/meetings/memos -maxdepth 1 -name '*.md' 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')"
# Largest files
find ~/meetings -type f -exec du -sh {} \; | sort -rh | head -10
Present this to the user before taking any action.
After transcription, the original .wav files are no longer needed for search or recap. They only matter if you want to re-transcribe with a better model.
# List WAV files and their sizes
find ~/meetings -name "*.wav" -exec du -sh {} \;
# Delete them (ask user for confirmation first!)
find ~/meetings -name "*.wav" -delete
Move meetings older than N days to an archive folder:
mkdir -p ~/meetings/archive
# Find meetings older than 90 days
find ~/meetings -maxdepth 1 -name "*.md" -mtime +90
# Move them (confirm with user first)
find ~/meetings -maxdepth 1 -name "*.md" -mtime +90 -exec mv {} ~/meetings/archive/ \;
Archived meetings won't appear in minutes list or minutes search (which only scans ~/meetings/), but they're still on disk if needed.
The watcher moves originals to ~/meetings/memos/processed/ after transcription:
du -sh ~/meetings/memos/processed/ 2>/dev/null
# Remove stale PID file
rm -f ~/.minutes/recording.pid
# Clean old logs (keep last 7 days)
find ~/.minutes/logs -name "*.log" -mtime +7 -delete 2>/dev/null
# Remove last-result.json (transient)
rm -f ~/.minutes/last-result.json
.md files without asking — These are the transcripts. They're small and contain the actual value. WAV files are the space hogs.minutes search only walks ~/meetings/ and ~/meetings/memos/. If you need archived meetings searchable, configure QMD to index ~/meetings/archive/ too.~/meetings/ is in an iCloud-synced folder, deleted files go to "Recently Deleted" and still count against storage for 30 days.
