This script removes log files generated by the privacy.sexy desktop application.

Deleting these logs can help maintain your privacy by ensuring there are no records of the application's activities on your system.
- Removing logs will prevent you from reviewing the application's activities, which could be helpful in diagnosing issues.
- Logs can contain valuable information for technical support should you need assistance.
This script should only be used by advanced users.
This script is not recommended for daily use as it breaks important functionality.
Consider creating a system restore point before doing any changes.
