filerazor: an interactive terminal file deletion tool for Linux

I built a small terminal utility called filerazor for reviewing and deleting files in a directory one by one without having to type out paths or run find commands.
It walks through each file alphabetically and asks what you want to do with it. You can delete it, skip it, or preview its contents before deciding. The current file is always shown in the top right corner of the terminal so you never lose track of where you are.
It was built out of frustration with having cluttered download folders with hundreds of files I had never sorted through.
