Doesn't matter if they are in one folder or many. The only problem is to
have an object to run the scripts against.
I already have a script that recursivly loops through an object (folderish
may it be) and manage_delObjects() on the requested non-wanted meta types.
But could run this script on copy_of_mysite if I only could get that object
in the first place.

I have the tools for a small site.
