Hi gigiz, the command above is perfect, but just be carefull when you specify the mtime value, if you do a mistake and instead of +90 you specify -90, you will delete all files that where created in the last 90 days.

Hi:

If your directory has potentially a large number of candiates for removal, it is far more efficient to use 'xargs' in lieu of '-exec' to buffer many file name arguments into one 'rm' process:

# find /path -xdev -type f -mtime +90 | xargs rm

Regards!

Hi Gigiz
I see the command pete given to you is the best!
#find /dirname -type f -mtime +90 -exec rm {} \;
