def delete_files_in_subdirs():

    "Loop through all subdirectories and files in the root directory and its subdirectories and delete
    all files."

    The first thing we do is create a tkinter window and hide it. We do this so that we can use
    tkinter's filedialog.askdirectory() function to display a folder selection dialog and get the
    selected folder

    Returns:
      A list of tuples. Each tuple contains the directory path, a list of subdirectories, and a list of
    files.
