Remarks
Never pass in the directory Root to mega_del_old.sh as the frist part of the path.
For -p -p '/MyPath/myfile' is fine; however, -p '/Root/MyPath/myfile' will fail.
If -i is omitted then you must have .megarc set in the current users home directory.
-o is optional but useful when calling mega_upload_file.sh from a master script such as mega_db_save_upload.sh (source).
-d is optional but also useful when calling mega_upload_file.sh from a master script such as mega_db_save_upload.sh (source). By passing Log and Date to mega_upload_file.sh then one log file will contain the same datestamp for all of the other called related scripts.
If the name of this file "mega_del_old.sh" is change for any reason then it needs to be reflected in the configuration file. See Configuration File.
