Auto-delete files older than 90 days

To automatically delete files older than 90 days, you can set up a scheduled task or script depending on your operating system. Here are common solutions for Windows, macOS, and Linux:

Windows (Using PowerShell + Task Scheduler)

1. PowerShell Script:

powershell
CopyEdit
$Path = "C:PathToFolder"
$Days = 90
$CurrentDate = Get-Date
Get-ChildItem -Path $Path -Recurse | Where-Object {
    ($_.LastWriteTime -lt $CurrentDate.AddDays(-$Days)) -and !$_.PSIsContainer
} | Remove-Item -Force

2. Set Up Task Scheduler:

   • Open Task Scheduler → Create Basic Task.

   • Choose a trigger (e.g., Daily).

   • Select “Start a program” → Browse and select PowerShell.

   • Add arguments:

     powershell
     CopyEdit
     -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:PathToScript.ps1"
     

Linux/macOS (Using a Cron Job)

1. Shell Command:

bash
CopyEdit
find /path/to/folder -type f -mtime +90 -exec rm -f {} ;

2. Add to Cron:

   • Run crontab -e and add:

     bash
     CopyEdit
     0 2 * * * find /path/to/folder -type f -mtime +90 -exec rm -f {} ;
     

   • This runs daily at 2 AM.

Notes:

• Replace /path/to/folder or C:PathToFolder with your actual folder path.

• Test scripts on sample directories first to prevent accidental data loss.
