Faq:
Q: Why did you leave didnt you add directory XYZ? 
A: Looking for feedback from the public. Keep in mind more folders means more calculation time.

Q: Why no JSON this time? 
A: I dont forsee this being useful to hand data elsewhere. A human will probably read this.

Q: Why not layer on some folder cleaning?
A: We could do that, but I am always trigger shy on weaponizing any script. It would have to be well thought out and very targeted.  
   Maybe we could do something like DeleteThisDirectory or something that could be weaponized.
