How to clean up tiny files in your own bucket

You already own the objects. Tiny leftovers still clutter the list.

file.rocks is the UI. Cleanup finds the small stuff by size. You pick what to drop. The rest stay.

This is Tiny files under Settings → Cleanup. Small clutter. It is not how to clean up largest files in your own bucket (size ranking for space hogs). It is not how to clean up screenshots and downloads in your own bucket (name clutter). It is not how to clean up likely duplicates in your own bucket (exact hash). It is not how to clean up near-duplicate photos in your own bucket (visual). It is not how to optimize photos in your own bucket (compress and overwrite). It is not Files row Delete. That hard delete path is how to delete a file from your own bucket.

1. No bucket yet

You need S3-compatible object storage. Not another Drive clone.

If you do not have a bucket hooked up, follow how to connect a Backblaze B2 bucket and come back. For the price table, see the cheapest cloud object storage comparison.

2. Open Tiny files

Sign in at file.rocks. Open Settings → Cleanup. Pick the bucket if needed.

Open Tiny files (/settings/cleanup/tiny).

The meta line is about small leftover objects by size. Guide: pick 1-3 KB chips and dust-grain junk you do not need. Deselect anything to keep.

Empty state: Nothing in this category. Optional Show dismissed / Restore.

3. Select, then confirm

The wizard is 1 · Select / 2 · Confirm. Same CleanupInventoryReview shape as Largest files and Screenshots & downloads.

Select rows (Select all / Select none). Optional Dismiss selected. Sticky bar shows selected count and reclaim estimate.

Click Review deletions. Confirm step says Final check before permanent delete. Click Delete N permanently (busy: Deleting…).

The modal asks: Permanently delete N file(s) and reclaim about X? This cannot be undone. Buttons Delete permanently / Cancel.

Toasts: Deleted N file(s) / Deleted with N error(s) / Dismissed N suggestion(s).

This path is permanent delete. Do not invent trash or undo here. Soft index rows may show as deleted after.

4. What this is not

This is not size ranking for big hogs. That is how to clean up largest files in your own bucket.

This is not screenshot / Downloads name clutter. That is how to clean up screenshots and downloads in your own bucket.

This is not exact-hash duplicates. That is how to clean up likely duplicates in your own bucket.

This is not visual near-duplicates. That is how to clean up near-duplicate photos in your own bucket.

This is not compress and overwrite. That is how to optimize photos in your own bucket.

This is not toolbar or row Delete in Files. That path is how to delete a file from your own bucket.

Orphans and Backup stay for another day. This post is only Tiny files.
