Greeting Image Remover

Abstract

The continuous development of information technology along with the communication devices like mobiles and tablets which are available for daily use have increased many folds in the recent year. A variety of companies are providing these devices with different specifications. A lot of these specifications roam around the storage available in these devices. The continuous development in these devices and applications has potentially increased the need for having sufficient storage capacity. Communication applications like WhatsApp, Hike, Signal, Telegram, etc. are used worldwide to stay connected. Almost all of the phone users use these apps to communicate with their close people or for business purposes. These chat apps have become an ingrained part of daily life of the phone users these days. These social communication apps allow the phone users to receive several media files. One such media file which is frequently used is images. Images of greetings like ‘Good Morning’, ‘Good Night’ or wishes for the festivals like ‘Happy Diwali”, ‘Merry Christmas' fill up the storage of the user's devices. These images have emotions attached to them from the sender, but it is actually just simply eating up space in the devices. Day by day these images fill up a sizable amount of space which leads to actually going back and deleting them in bulk manually to free up space. The objective of this project is to assist the user out instead of manually deleting these greetings to automate this process. The application is designed so that it searches these greeting images and gives the user the option to delete them or not. The automated process of searching the images saves the user time and effort and it helps in recovering the storage which can be used by the device.
