  <description><![CDATA[This is, defiitely, a VERY BAD idea.<br /><br />A computer, a system, an apllication, must never, NEVER, destroy or modify user data (like pictures and notes) without a clear instruction from the user. <br /><br /> ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[@Rakudave:<br />Yeah, but this is much easier to configure.<br /><br />@Pubsbin:<br />The user have given a clear instruction. He/she sets this system up, and gives exact information for what specific folder to do it for, and exact information for how old the files must be before they get removen. This function is of course 100% optional, and will only affect the specified folder/directory.]]></description>
