What it does
Revit's numbered backup files quietly fill a project folder over months, and clearing them by hand means picking through a list of near-identical filenames. RevitBackup Cleaner scans a folder you choose, identifies Revit's incrementing backup copies (the .0001.rvt, .0002.rvt files Revit writes on every save), and clears them out in one run. Point it at a specific project folder, confirm the path, and run it. The disk space those backups build up over a project's life gets freed in one run instead of a manual sort-and-delete pass, and it targets Revit's numbered copies only, never your central or local model file.

Questions about this product
Could this delete a file I need?
It targets Revit's numbered backup copies only, not your central or local model file. Point it at a specific project folder and confirm the path before running, standard care for any tool that deletes from disk.
Do I need to know Dynamo?
No. It runs from Dynamo Player: choose the folder, and run.
