Pls check delete requests script for Clean Utility

I want to delete all requests logged from January 2017 to January 2020 for a given set of services, regardless of status or type of request.  Using guidance from the Clean Utility WIKI page, I have compiled the attached script.

Not sure what it does.  If not needed, can I remove this line without upsetting anything?

• KeepRequestsCancelBPTasks : a boolean (defaulting to false) which if set to true will NOT actually delete the selected requests, but will cancel the Business Process Workflow and any Tasks connected to the request.

@Steve Giller Thank you.  Sounds like it's worth setting to TRUE when deleting requests so there aren't any orphaned leftovers.  Have I understood that correctly?
