Housekeeping your USB drive is as important as housekeeping your hard disk. Removing unwanted files, programs, documents, emails, etc that you no longer need will free up valuable space on your USB drive so that it does not get clogged with unwanted rubbish. Besides giving you more space to work, your important files won’t be easily mixed up with unwanted ones and probably accidentally deleted or overwritten by you. To keep your USB drive clear and clean from time to time, there is a handy and tiny application namely USBDriveFresher you can consider.

Unlike other housekeeping tools, the beauty of USBDriveFresher is it allows users to do the cleaning work based on the rules determined by users themselves. Users can specify their own rules and decide which files to be removed automatically. For instance, users can specify files such as .Spotlight-V100, .Trashes, .fseventsd, thumbs.db, .ds_store, etc as shown as screenshot below to be removed automatically by the application once it is executed:
