Sometimes when users open certain files (PDFs, Word files), Google Docs "helpfully" converts the file to a Google Doc. This is wasteful. We should write a script to auto-delete files like the one below:
Any Google Doc matching these heuristics will automatically be deleted:
Google Doc will usually have another file (probably a PDF or Word file) with the same name in the folder
Google Doc will usually be newer
Google Doc's first three activity entries will be by the same user, within 60s of each other
It would be cool if we caught this at the time of document creation, automatically deleted, and actually email the user saying "Please don't do this! Please follow the guidance here".
Sometimes another user will open a doc file, accidentally hit space, and then close the file. We should be smart and file these "suspect" documents away for a human to delete. If we manage to catch this at time of document creation, this doesn't really become useful outside the initial purge.
An alternative option is to just run the script at regular intervals, but that's no fun.
