[PAYH] Getting rid of files / folders

[#1]

Does anyone know of or have a script that can be used to get rid of OLD unused files and folders owned by 'www-data'. or will at least change the ownership of them so that they can be deleted manually.

If you just want to delete them, you can use your FTP client.
Edit: If you have www-data owned files actually inside www-data owned folders, you could use something like webadmin.php (available from various places on the net) to change the folder permissions to 777. (The script opens a door to your whole file system, so you may want to remove it after use.)

Thanks. Got rid of a lot but this method doesnt work on sub folders and files within sub folders.

Aha. Try using webadmin to upload another (renamed) copy of itself. That will get the script owned by www-data. It won't be able to see the folder it's in, but if you point it at a www-data owned folder it will be able to delete or chmod anything owned by www-data.
