So my script is working for pulling up the menu but when I pick and option it does not catch the variable outside the main method. I know I just may be doing something small wrong or not can anyone see what my issue is. Much appreciated in advance.

import os
import subprocess
import time
import pathlib


## Directory Enumerator
fileFolderLocationFilter = os.listdir('C:\\Users\\myFiles\\Documents\\_Scripts\\MyScripts\\')
selectedFile=""

## Menu defined setting veriables
def My_menu():
    files = fileFolderLocationFilter
    counter = 1
    print (20 * "=" , "Enoc Quick Menu" , 20 * "=")
    enumFiles = list(enumerate(files))
    for counter, value in enumFiles:
        str = repr(counter) + ") " + repr(value);
        print(str)
    str = repr(counter+1) + ") Exit";
    print(str)
    print (47 * "_")
    str = "Enter your choice [1 - " + repr((counter+1)) + "]:"
    choice = int(input("Please Enter a Selection: "))
    selectedFiles = enumFiles[choice]
    return(selectedFiles[1])
    if choice > counter :
        choice = -1
    else:
        selectedFiles = enumFiles[choice]
        print(selectedFiles[1])
        selectedFile = selectedFiles[1]
    return choice



##initiating loop
loop = True
while loop:
    choice = My_menu()
    print (choice)
    print ("---" +str(selectedFile))
