Ok lets say you want to remove all files that were last accessed more
than 2 days ago or there status was last changed more than 3 days ago
or are empty and are simple files starting at the current directory.
find ./ -name "*" -type f ( -empty -o -atime +2 -o -ctime +3) -exec rm {} \;
Do a : man find
to see other options of which there are many. You could probably do
without the -name "*" and all files that are matched and therefore
deleted will have there names printed. There are examples of use in
the man page.
