Clean Desktop Python Script

This Python script is designed to automatically clean your desktop by deleting all files and folders located on it. It can be called from the command prompt (cmd) and is intended to help you keep your desktop organized.

Instructions:

1. Create a folder named utils at the root of your C drive (C://).

2. Save the Python script clean_desktop.py inside the utils folder.

3. Open the Python script clean_desktop.py using a text editor of your choice.

4. Locate the line that looks like the following:

   desktop_path = f"C:/Users/your_user/Desktop"

5. Replace 'your_user' with your actual username. For example, if your username is john_doe, the line should be changed to:

   desktop_path = f"C:/Users/john_doe/Desktop"

6. Save the changes to the clean_desktop.py file.

7. Open the command prompt (cmd) on your system.

8. Navigate to the utils folder using the cd command. For example:

   cd C:\utils
   

9. Run the script using the following command:

   python clean_desktop.py
   

10. The script will start cleaning your desktop by deleting all files and folders. Be cautious and ensure that you have backed up any important data before executing the script.
