Delete files older than X amount of days.

I thought i would share this as i have been looking for a simple solution for a long time.

Ever wanted to delete files older than a certain number of days. Then the windows command line program "forfiles" is what you're looking for.

Example:

forfiles /p E:\LogFiles /d -3 /c "cmd /c del @file"

/p "directory"
/d -X (Where X is the amount of days previous to today)
/c "abc" (where abc is the command you want to execute of the result of the files found.
@file (this automatically replaces @file with the result of the files found)

In the above example it will delete all files in E:\LogFiles which are older than 3 days.
