Find and delete files on drives - SCCM Script

SCCM is often considered a delivery mechanism using which IT Teams can deliver their intelligence thru software, script etc to clients around, based on what is required by business. Recently our project demanded us to come up with a script that will be deployed thru SCCM to find and delete certain older versions of our LOB apps on each of the local drives on clients. Though I am not an expert at scripting, but do have passion for scripting /automation as they benefit in increased productivity. Ok, this passion drives me to find and build script (from net, sometimes) and, would like to share below what I used for above said requirement just in case if you will find it useful

 I do practice to log suffice info that helps us to troubleshoot in case of any issues, without needing to repro the issue,  including start and end times of script launch, computer name etc. In this case I have saved a copy on network share all actions, so I know in detail what happened on client, as SCCM execution status (mere success or failure)  doesn’t fully provide such info. Also I added few lines to script to force software scan on SCCM clients so that we get latest info on exe files
