English · 日本語 · Deutsch

K-Tech Studio plugin that finds sync-conflict copies, empty files, and leftover temp files. You review the list, then move only what you approve into a dedicated folder. Deleting is a second step, at your own risk.


English

What it does

  • Detects conflict copies (Dropbox / official Sync including -conflict- names / Proton Drive / Syncthing / Nextcloud; Japanese, English, German, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese). Lists them even if the original is missing.
  • When the original is in the same folder, a badge shows if the copy has the same bytes (still does not merge)
  • Optional numbered names like Note 2.md (off by default — easy to confuse with a real title)
  • Empty (0-byte) files and temp leftovers (.tmp, trailing ~, Office lock files), with a minimum age in days
  • Skips .icloud placeholders and files you currently have open
  • Moves selected files to K-Tech Trash Box (name is configurable)
  • On startup, if that folder has files, asks whether to delete. Default is keep
  • UI: Japanese / English / German / Korean / Simplified Chinese / Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) / Spanish / Portuguese from the app language

What it does not do

  • It does not merge conflict copies
  • It does not delete until you confirm the quarantine folder
  • It cannot stop iCloud or Dropbox from creating copies

How to use

  1. Enable CopyGuard
  2. Click the ribbon icon (two overlapping pages) or run Open CopyGuard
  3. Check what to scan, then Scan
  4. Select rows and move them to the trash box
  5. Delete from that folder only when you mean to (startup prompt, default: later)

Install (manual)

Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from Releases into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/copy-guard/, then enable the plugin.

About
CopyGuard is a maintenance plugin. It does not delete on its own. Scan for: - Sync conflict copies: Dropbox, official Sync (including Note-conflict-YYYY-MM-DD), Proton Drive (# Edit conflict / # Name clash), Syncthing, Nextcloud, and several languages. Listed even if the original is missing from the folder - When the original is in the same folder, a badge shows if the copy has the same bytes. CopyGuard does not merge - Empty (0-byte) files older than a number of days you set - Leftover temp files (.tmp, trailing ~, and similar) You choose what to move into a vault-root folder (default: K-Tech Trash Box). Deleting those files is a second step, with a confirm dialog. Default is not to delete. The UI follows the app language (Japanese, English, German, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese). Fully local except Buy Me a Coffee, which opens in the browser if you click it.
