Free up space, organize your projects, and maintain a cleaner Camtasia workflow today

Automatically clean up and organize your Camtasia projects with one simple tool

Are your Camtasia projects filled with unused files taking up valuable disk space? This powerful Python utility identifies and removes unused media files from your Camtasia projects with precision and safety.

What This Tool Does:

• Reclaim Disk Space: Automatically identifies and moves unused files to the recycle bin
• Batch Processing: Clean multiple projects across directories with a single command
• Safe Operation: Preview what will be removed before taking action
• Smart Detection: Intelligently analyzes project files to identify truly unused media
• Specialized for Camtasia: Built specifically for .tscproj file structure

Perfect For:

• Video creators with multiple Camtasia projects
• Course creators managing large media libraries
• Anyone looking to organize their Camtasia workflow
• Teams sharing Camtasia project directories

Key Features:

• Focus on .trec Files or scan all media types
• Recursive Processing for cleaning entire project libraries at once
• List Used Files to see what's important in your projects
• Safe Trash Operation - all files go to recycle bin, not permanent deletion

Example Usage:

# Report unused .trec files in a single project (without deleting)
python cleanup_trec.py "D:\Projects\MyProject.tscproj"

# Send unused .trec files to trash for a single project
python cleanup_trec.py "D:\Projects\MyProject.tscproj" --sendtotrash

# Report all files used in a project
python cleanup_trec.py "D:\Projects\MyProject.tscproj" --list-used

# Report all projects in a directory and subdirectories
python cleanup_trec.py "D:\Projects" --recursive

# Clean up all unused files in all projects recursively
python cleanup_trec.py "D:\Projects" --recursive --all-unused --sendtotrash

Technical Details:

• Python script (works on Windows, macOS, and Linux)
• Requires Python 3.6+ and the send2trash package
• Simple command-line interface with multiple options
• Detailed documentation included
