Undoing an import

< 1 min

Select on the source triple, never on "everything except what I wrote":

ruby -rjson -rfileutils -e '
n = 0
Dir.glob("content.nosync/posts/*/*.json").each do |f|
  p = JSON.parse(File.read(f, encoding: "utf-8"))
  s = p["source"] || {}
  next unless s["platform"] == "PLATFORM" && s["account"] == "ACCOUNT"
  d = File.join("media.nosync", File.basename(File.dirname(f)), p["slug"])
  FileUtils.rm_rf(d) if Dir.exist?(d)
  File.delete(f); n += 1
end
puts "removed #{n}"'

Fill in PLATFORM/ACCOUNT from any imported post's JSON, then rebuild and deploy with --prune --force (the guard will flag the shrink -- that's it working). The same selector is why re-importing later is safe.
