If we have more files in a folder, the normal ls command will not work.
Below command is used to find out the old files.
List the files - 30 days before file
#find /location/to/find/files -type f -mtime +30 -user test -ls
Delete the files
#find /location/to/find/files -type f -mtime +30 -user test -exec rm {} \
/location/to/find/files - which location you want to find the files
mtime - mention the days, command will find the files older than that days (here 30)
user - if we have more files, mention the user as well
