First, a caveat. The main script is not run in a webpage. I will be running the .js file in Windows using Windows Script Host.

I have directoryA that gets populated as a replica of directoryB, and some files are changed or added. I want to automate the process of deleting all files from directoryA that have redundant copies in directoryB. Both directories have several layers of sub-directories, so the solution will likely have to be recursive. My first thought...
