Cleaning up the HD directory

Dan,
Could you include some sort of functionality that cleans up the Hero Designer directory?
I'm referring to all the error and tracelog files. I understand the importance of having them, but could it delete them if they were say a month old or some such?
I'm doing it manually right now which is no big deal, but I'm thinking of the people that may not know that they can delete these. I realize that they are only 7k or so, but after a while it just makes the directory ugly when I go there to update it, or find a file that I may have saved into the directory.
If not, that's cool too. It was just a thought.

The trace.log file should be overwritten everytime you run HD....

Apart from appPrefs.xml, that's the only file that HD creates in that directory....any other error files are windows logs, which you'll need to clear out on your own.

Hmm, really? Ok. The file name and contents looked like HDs. Here is the name of the most recent one: hs_err_pid688.log.
So that is a Java VM generated error then?
No prob. I'll take care of them then. Thanks again Dan.
