ArcPro Script Tool parameter for a variety of file types

import arcpy,os

# delete old zips
def delete_old_parcels_zip(oldzip, workspace_folder):
    arcpy.env.workspace = workspace_folder
    # r=root, d=directories, f=files
    for root, directories, files in os.walk(workspace_folder):
        for file in files:
            if file.endswith(oldzip): #.endswith accepts a tupule
                #delete existing zips from folder
                print("old zips deleted: {}".format(file))
                arcpy.AddMessage("old zips deleted: {}".format(file))
                arcpy.Delete_management(file)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    #name of zip file with extension
    oldzip = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)

    # output folder
    workspace_folder = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)

    # delete
    delete_old_parcels_zip(oldzip, workspace_folder)

 

I'm having trouble getting this script to work as a script tool. It works fine as a stand-alone. I've tried a number of things in Pro Catalog Toolboxes:

1. Properties > Execution panel > embedded
2. Properties > Execution panel > external script
3. Properties > Parameter 0: Data Type > File > Filter File (zip; shp)
4. Properties > Parameter 0: Data Type > Shapefile
5. Properties > Parameter 0: Data Type > Folder
6. Properties > Parameter 1: Data Type > Workspace

It doesn't throw any errors. But it produces no results. Basically, the tool is supposed to find a file based on user input and in the workspace and delete it. Note: I'm after learning to use if __name__ == "__main__" in a script tool.

It worked with the arcpy.GetParameter() function and the Data Type parameter set to String. I used the index 0. I was able to run the tool numerous times on the following files and it deleted all of them: *.zip, *.shp, *.png, *.jpeg. So:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    #name of zip file with extension
    oldzip = arcpy.GetParameter(0)

    # output folder
    workspace_folder = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)

    # delete
    delete_old_parcels_zip(oldzip, workspace_folder)
