Logging

• Logs are saved in a logs/ folder (created automatically)
• Each script run creates a new log file named with date and time (e.g., 2026-05-10_14-30-00.log)
• Logs include: script start, actions performed, and any errors/warnings

Note

Option 4 (Recycle Bin size) now scans all available drives dynamically and may take a few seconds to complete.
