This script bulk deletes DNN log files in the directory \Portals\_default\Logs for all top-level website directories by specifying the Primary Directory ie: C:\inetpub\wwwroot
It will log files deleted into a text file & print in console. It will also show you the total file size space saved.
There is a testMode you can toggle on & off to simulate a run without deleting any actual files so you can confirm it will action correctly before running it.
Switch this: $testMode = $false to $testMode = $true if you'd like to run it in test mode.
Update this: $primaryDirectory = "C:\inetpub\wwwroot" IE: $primaryDirectory = "MyPathHere" to specify your top-level directory.
NOTE* You will need to run this script in an administrator priviledged power shell console.
EXAMPLE:
C:/inetpub/wwwroot/
├── mywebsite1/
│ └── Portals/
│ └── _default/
│ └── Logs/
│ ├── 2024.05.23.log.resources
│ ├── 2024.05.24.log.resources
│ └── 2024.05.25.log.resources
├── mywebsite2/
│ └── Portals/
│ └── _default/
│ └── Logs/
│ ├── 2024.05.21.log.resources
│ └── 2024.05.22.log.resources
├── mywebsite3/
│ └── Portals/
│ └── _default/

The script will process all top-level folders (e.g., `mywebsite1`, `mywebsite2`, etc.) under the `C:/inetpub/wwwroot/` directory.
It will:
1. Navigate to the `Portals/_default/Logs/` folder inside each website folder.
2. Identify and delete files matching the pattern `*.log.resources`.
3. Log the following details:
- Number of files deleted per folder.
- Total size of files deleted globally and per folder.
- Errors encountered during processing.
Example Output:
- Processing directory: mywebsite1. Files to delete: 3
- Processing directory: mywebsite2. Files to delete: 2
- Processing directory: mywebsite3. Files to delete: 1
- Processing directory: mywebsite4. Files to delete: 3
Total files deleted: 9
Total size deleted: 45.67 MB
