Hello,

I'd like to automatically clean out files older than 90 days on a weekly
basis from specific directories are there any commands, utilities or
programs I can use to do this?


Thanks

You can do this with robocopy.exe, using the /mov switch, followed
by a "delete" command.

Thanks - I'm not familiar with it but I'll look it up.
