[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1937186, member: 175845"] Not attempting to reinvent the wheel here, but Google can be your friend and show you some readily available options you could try using: [B][I]3 Ways to Automatically Delete Downloads on Mac[/I][/B] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/automatically-clean-up-your-mac-os-x-downloads-or-any-folder/[/URL] and more options available from some of the hits here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.google.com/search?q=mac+Task.+I+want+to+automatically+delete+all+files+from+Download+folder+except+for+the+current+day.&oq=mac+Task.+I+want+to+automatically+delete+all+files+from+Download+folder+except+for+the+current+day.&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i64l3.5329j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8[/URL] There should be at least one method that should work well for you amongst all those. There was also an old utility I used to use years ago that had what was called a "watch folder" that could do multiple things with whatever landed in the specific folder but I cannot recall its name but a Google search should find something like that if you need it. I thought there was a services built into the Mac OS that could do a similar thing but I can't find. it or where the option might hide on my iMac. Good luck. - Patrick ======= [/QUOTE]
