Delete Old Files

Use this very simple app to specify the path of a folder to keep clean, specify for how many days to keep the files and this simple app will run at 5:00 am every day and clean up this folder from old files. It does not traverse into sub folders and it does not delete folders. Make sure you provide a correct folder path so that you accidentally don't delete important files.
Files are checked using the "Last modified" metadata so if a file is constantly being updated, it won't be deleted. The app shows a log of recent activity which includes files that were recently deleted.

Potential uses for this app:
- Downloads folder
- you probably already forgot what you have downloaded 2 weeks ago so why to keep these files around?
- Folder with log or temp files generated by some other app
- you might want to keep only recent logs but logs from a week ago might be irrelevant
- A folder in which you store surveillance photos/videos generated by a surveillance app or uploaded using FTP server by an IP camera that would quickly fill up your device storage capacity otherwise
- If you found use of this app for any other type of folder content trimming, share it with us in the comments

3 stars - never used - downloaded just to comment. Dev writes: "...It does not traverse into sub folders and it does not delete folders.

Keep working on the app, please add the option to customize the schedule at which it runs, and to delete FOLDERS and all CHILDREN files under them (delete none on syntax error)

Please just update the software. It keeps giving the error "Is not a valid path". Even tho I enter it exactly (caps sensitive) in the box (copeid it from my phone) This is legit the exact app I need, every other one had adds, huge in size, and just don't do this. Please just update the app :)

I really didn't use it that much because when I tried it wouldn't work for me. Maybe it's as lazy as I am.

If you set more than 24 days it will delete everything. Please fix it 🙏

If you set it to 25 days or more it deletes everything.

It does work for files older than 20 days or less. If you set any number of days above 20 days, it removes every files in the folder.

Stupid App. I asked to delete files older than 180 days and it emptied the entire folder. It does not work as mentioned in the description. I lost all my pics. Ugh.
