Previously, we were creating the app logs folder at a predefined location during initial electron startup, which meant that it had to be manually removed and prevented clean app portability. This refactors that implementation such that it's now an opt-in feature and developers must call app.setAppLogsPath(path) with an optional custom path in order to set this directory. |

Official Guides
Please make sure that you use the documents that match your Electron version. The version number should be a part of the page URL. If it's not, you are probably using the documentation of a development branch which may contain API changes that are not compatible with your Electron version. To view older versions of the documentation, you can browse by tag on GitHub by opening the "Switch branches/tags" dropdown and selecting the tag that matches your version.
