This is what you described:
private void DeleteFilesOlderThan20Days()
{
DateTime TwentyDaysAgo = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-20);
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\temp");
foreach (FileInfo fi in di.GetFiles())
{
if(fi.CreationTime < TwentyDaysAgo)
{
fi.Delete();
}
}
}
I don't know of any other way to get the job done.
