It depends on what you mean. If you mean simply wiping a directory
every 7 days regardless of content, you can use either "cron" or "at"
commands plus the standard "rm" command. All of these have entries in
the man pages. Type "man <command>" where <command> is what you want
to learn about.
If, on the other hand you want to remove files from a particular
directory after they are a week old, use "cron" with the "find"
command and "rm". Again, use your man pages. Find has the capability
to locate files that have time/date attributes indicating age such as
time since the file was created or time since hte file was last modified.
