When the user selects menu item 5) Clean up ALL files, all directories and files created by your script are to be deleted from the system, leaving nothing behind. This means that your tutor’s working directory will be returned to its original state in preparation for the next student to be marked. Please note: this function will be carefully perused before being executed, and if appears that it may delete anything other than the directory and files your script created, it will not be run and no marks for this section will be awarded.
