Grim File Reaper

storage, operating system (GFR) An ITS and LISP Machine

utility to remove files according to some program-automated or

semi-automatic manual procedure, especially one designed to

reclaim mass storage space or reduce name-space clutter (the

original GFR actually moved files to tape).

See also prowler, reaper. Compare GC, which discards

only provably worthless stuff.
