I am looking for a way to delete folders that are older than a certain amount of days. I use a folder to store all my backups in, and I am looking for a simple button that would delete the folders that are older than a certain amount of time.
In the screenshot is the folder I am talking about. I am looking for a button that when pressed would automatically delete the folders older than 2 weeks.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Use Delete with a filter, e.g.:
Delete FILTER=F52529
You'd need a script to select folders based on the date from their names.
One thing to note is that the modified date on a folder only changes if something directly under it is added, removed or renamed.
If you need to check for the most recently modified item below a folder, we have some columns which will calculate that and can also be used. It’s probably not needed, from the description in the root post, but those are available if you need them.
Thanks for the replies. My only problem is that I don't know much of anything about scripts. I was looking for some kind of button that I could edit for my own needs.
Since the folder is mainly for backups that I rarely have to use, I don't think the issue with the modified dates would be an issue.
Thanks again.
