+# Assignment 1 - Log Cleanup Script
+
+## 🧠 Problem Statement
+As a developer, I often accumulate a lot of temporary `.log` files in my `~/projects` directory. Manually deleting these files is tedious and error-prone. I want a simple Bash script that automatically finds and deletes all `.log` files older than 7 days, keeping my workspace clean and saving disk space.
+
+---
+
+## 💻 Solution
+
+I created a Bash script called `clean_logs.sh` that:
+
+- Searches for `.log` files older than 7 days in the target directory
+- Deletes them automatically
+- Can be scheduled to run daily using a cron job
+
+### ✅ Script Contents
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+TARGET_DIR="/DSG"
+
+find "$TARGET_DIR" -type f -name "*.log" -mtime +7 -print -delete
+
+echo "Deleted .log files older than 7 days in $TARGET_DIR"
+
+
