Delete files that are old than x days

I have a server to store the built apks, it will generate an apk when there is a new commit, so there are a lot of apks on the server, and I want to keep the files for one week. This is the script that I used to delete the files that are created more than one week.# The command following can find the files that are modified one week ago
find . -type f -mtime +7

To delete the files that are match, just added -delete option on the find command like below:find . -type f -mtime +7 -delete

The -mtime option

We use the -mtime option on the find command, there are some other options we can use.

• -atime n Files that were last accessed n*24 hours ago.
• -ctime n Files that were last changed n*24 hours ago.
• -mtime n Files that were last modified n*24 hours ago.

The -type option

I also use the -type option to filter only the regular files, because I want to delete the apk files, so I can use -type f to filter them.

We can also use -type d to filter the directories.

The -delete option

I also use -delete option to delete the filtered files, we can also use -exec to delete the files, the -exec command is like below:find . -type f -mtime +7 -exec rm -rv {} \;
