Minutes Cleanup

If you're using minutes for meeting transcripts, this is your disk space janitor. It helps you preview and delete old raw audio files after they've been transcribed (the markdown transcripts stay), archive meetings older than 90 days, and clear out processed voice memos. The smart bit is it respects pinned recordings and lets you preview exactly what'll be deleted before you commit. Audio files eat about 10 MB per minute while transcripts are roughly 1 KB, so cleanup actually matters. Run it when your drive is filling up or you want to keep recent meetings accessible while mothballing the old stuff.

Help the user manage disk space and organize old recordings. Minutes is transcript-first: markdown notes and structured memory are durable, while raw audio is a temporary recovery/reprocessing layer unless pinned.

Common cleanup tasks

Preview raw-audio cleanup

After transcription, the original audio files are no longer needed for search or recap. They only matter if you want to re-transcribe with a better model or debug recovery. Cleanup is preview-only unless --apply is passed.

# Use the configured retention policy
minutes cleanup

# Try a shorter successful-audio window
minutes cleanup --older-than 14d

# Machine-readable preview for agents
minutes cleanup --json

Delete raw audio candidates

Only apply cleanup after showing the preview and getting explicit confirmation.

minutes cleanup --apply
minutes cleanup --older-than 14d --apply

Archive old meetings

Move meetings older than N days to an archive folder:

mkdir -p ~/meetings/archive
