• Random Interval Execution: Deletes a file at a random interval between 1 and 10 minutes.
• Customizable File Targeting: Users can specify the file extension of the files to be targeted for deletion.
• Startup Execution: Includes a method to run the script at system startup, ensuring the random deletion process begins automatically.

1. Modify File Extension: Open script.bat and change the file_extension variable to target the desired file type. The default is set to .prproj.

   set "file_extension=.your_extension_here"

2. Configure Startup Task: Use start_script.ps1 to run script.bat at system startup. This can be done by scheduling a task in the Task Scheduler to run start_script.ps1.

After setting up the script and configuring the targeted file extension, the script will automatically run at the specified intervals, deleting a randomly selected file with the specified extension in the script's directory.

To start the deletion process manually, simply run start_script.ps1 using PowerShell, which will execute script.bat in the background:

.\start_script.ps1
