Delete files based on creation date?

[Guest Hank Arnold (MVP)]

I have a process that backs up some Citrix farm information on a

periodic basis. The files are not large, but the number gets very large,

very fast.

 

Is there a simple command driven way to delete all files that were

created more than x days before? I'd like to run this as a scheduled

task on the server where the files are stored..

You could use batch file:

@echo off

set x=30

set source=d:\My Data

xxcopy /rs /db#%x% /ed /yy "%Source%\*.*"

 

You can download xxcopy.exe from a number of sites.
