A Windows utility that deletes all files except those with specified extensions or large image files.
- You can specify multiple file extensions to exclude from deletion (e.g. jpg, png, webp).

FAQ
I don’t understand the purpose of this tool. When would it be useful?
For example, it’s helpful when you’ve completely saved a web page that contains many photos (images) and you only want to keep the image files while deleting everything else.
When a web page is saved completely, it usually includes not only photo (image) files but also many other files such as HTML files, CSS files, JavaScript files, icon or button images, and thumbnail images.
This tool allows you to delete all those unnecessary files. Moreover, even if some of the files have the same extensions as the images you want to keep, you can automatically remove small-sized images such as icons, buttons, or thumbnails at the same time.
