Updated `check_files.py` to delete suspiciously small output files and treat it as an error. Changes:

1. **Deletes the file** when output is less than 10% of input size
2. **Changes color from yellow to red** to indicate an error
3. **Logs the deletion** for tracking
4. **Handles deletion errors** if the file can't be removed

When a suspiciously small output file is detected, it's automatically deleted and reported as an error in red.

Removed the suspiciously small output check from the error detection. The script will:

1. No longer check if output files are suspiciously small
2. No longer flag this as an error
3. No longer count it in the issue summary

The `format_file_size` function was also removed since it's no longer needed. The script now only checks for duration mismatches, missing video streams, resolution mismatches, and audio stream issues.
