Probably not. Hopefully you're also using FileVault, though it doesn't totally
alleviate recovery risks (from undelete scripts, etc)

I use Hazel (mentioned by drhayes9 too) to monitor various folders and take
action regularly. On the delete side, this includes:

* clearing out any items in Downloads > 1week * clearing out any items from my "Temp" folder > 1 day, unless they have an explicit "save" tag ("Temp" is my go-to alternative to the Desktop and is where I stash anything, well, temporary-ish) * automatically moving screenshots into my Temp folder (where they will soon be deleted)

Why not using /tmp?

~~~
scott_karana
1 Workflow: you can put the files _anywhere_ this way, and still have them get
deleted.

2 Time granularity (though you could, I suppose, set up subdirectories in
/tmp/ with associated hourly/daily/weekly/monthly cronjobs)

Yes, you could queue an at job for every deletion. If you moved the file that
approach would break. Also, you'd have to remove that at queue entry if you
changed your mind.

I have been looking forward to checking out Chrome OS, but haven't had time to
download one of the installers out there right now. It will be nice to have an
official, easy to install version, if they release one. Do they plan to make
it easy for people to download and install the OS, or are they mostly going to
market it to device manufacturers?
