function Clear-OldSqlLogs {

<#
|

|
|
.SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
Will delete all files older than one month from today from any SQL Server installed on the computer
|
||
|
|
Warning: This method does not care about the file contents, it will try to delete it if it is older than 1 month.
|
||
|
|
If you use the WhatIfPreference it will try to honor that and not delete things, but I have not tested it with -WhatIf and -Force
|
||
|
|
This enumerates all subfolders called MSSQL under C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\ (the typical location and name for SQL server installs) and looks for a Log folder under that
|
||
|
|
If you have installed in a non-standard way, this will not help.
|
||
|
|
This function is NOT polite. Only use it if you are sure you want to delete things brutally.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.PARAMETER Force
|
||
|
|
Force the file deletion
