Clean

From version 7.7.7 onward, TF uses a parameter PACK_VERSION to mark the stored pre-computed data. Whenever there are incompatible changes in the packed data format, this version number will be increased and TF will not attempt to load the older pre-computed data.

The older data will not be removed, however. Use the function clean() to get rid of pre-computed data that you no longer need.

    """Clean up older compressed `.tfx` files.

    Parameters
    ----------

    Removes all pre-computed data resulting from other `PACK_VERSION`
    than the one currently used by TF.

    You find the current pack version in
    `tf.parameters`

    tfd: boolean,  optional True
        By default, your `~/text-fabric-data` is traversed and cleaned,
        but if you pass `tfd=False` it will be skipped.
    backend: string, optional, `None`
        If None, only material in `text-fabric-data` will be cleaned.
        But you can also clean clones of GitHub / GitLab.

        To clean GitHub / GitLab clones, pass `github` / `gitlab`.

        To clean the clones from a specific GitLab server,
        pass its server name.
    specific: string, optional, `None`
        You can pass a specific directory here. The standard directories
        `~/github` and `~/text-fabric-data` will not be used, only
        the directory you pass here. `~` will be expanded to your home directory.
    current: boolean, optional, `False`
        If current=True, also the pre-computed results of the current version will
        be removed.
    dry: boolean, optional, `False`
        By default, nothing will be deleted, and you only get a list of
        what will be deleted if it were not a dry run.
        If you pass `dry=False` the delete actions will really be executed.

Parameters

Removes all pre-computed data resulting from other PACK_VERSION than the one currently used by TF.

You find the current pack version in tf.parameters

tfd : boolean, optional True

By default, your ~/text-fabric-data is traversed and cleaned, but if you pass tfd=False it will be skipped.

backend : string, optional, None``

If None, only material in text-fabric-data will be cleaned. But you can also clean clones of GitHub / GitLab.

To clean GitHub / GitLab clones, pass github / gitlab.

To clean the clones from a specific GitLab server, pass its server name.

specific : string, optional, None``

You can pass a specific directory here. The standard directories ~/github and ~/text-fabric-data will not be used, only the directory you pass here. ~ will be expanded to your home directory.

current : boolean, optional, False``

If current=True, also the pre-computed results of the current version will be removed.

dry : boolean, optional, False``

By default, nothing will be deleted, and you only get a list of what will be deleted if it were not a dry run. If you pass dry=False the delete actions will really be executed.
