Delete Files in a specific folder after 30 days

General

Hello,

I just want to create a simple flow, where files in a specify folder on my laptop will be deleted if those are older than 30 days.

Could someone give me an example please?

Thanks in regards!

First thing to do would be to get a list of files in that folder, along with their file details, into a flow. So I would start by looking at the flows site for a Node that will help.

This thread was very similar & should work with a small tweak.
