with options?

I'm running a camera server and I'd like to clear out some - but NOT all -
of the files in four specific directories according to their age. I don't
need to keep anything older than two weeks so I'd like to find a utility
that would look at these four directories, check the system time, then
delete everything in those directories that's more than two weeks old.

Am I living in fantasyland or does such a beast exist?

Thanks (in advance),

Bubba

Out-of-Date Monitor is a Windows application, used to assist in the
management of PC drive space.

Out-Of-Date Monitor may be configured to address two types of
requirements:

First, it can monitor the available free space on a drive selected by
the user and issue a notification if this space falls below a specified
threashold.

Second, Out-Of-Date Monitor can monitor specified folders for
files older than a specified period. The user can be notified of these
"out-of-date" files or they may automatically be deleted.

The program works with both local drives and folders and with networked
drives and folders.

Out-Of-Date Monitor is a freeware application, made available by High
Criteria. It can be used by anyone who wants to monitor space on
specified drives.

The above program monitors, i.e. runs in the background, and acts.
This may well be suited in your case, but others might prefer a solution
that you run something by shortcut or per batch file or scheduled or e.g. at
startup. In which case : XXCOPY ( http://www.xxcopy.com ) lets you do this.

xxcopy c:\mydir\myfiles.* /RSY /DB#14

Removes the specified files >14 days old, without confirmation.
