    Auto delete files in subfolders after a certain count value


    Hello, I have a folder that contains ca 4000 subfolders, and those contain images. I need a solution that automatically deletes images from 7 and up in these subfolders, just to leave a maximum of 6 images in each subfolder, ideally the first 6 alphabetically. Does anyone know the solution? Thanks

    :)
