Hello DexI had the same problem and did not found any way to copy or delete or move files that are older then 30 days in windows.
I used a utility called robocopy to do this.After your question I researched some more and found a way to do it, using a small sql script to generate cmd file that will do the work.
set heading off spool c:\temp\deltraces.cmd select 'cd /d d:\oracle\ora92\admin\udump' from dual; select 'md temp' from dual; select 'xcopy * temp /D:' || to_char(sysdate-30,'MM-DD-YYYY') from dual; select 'delete . /Y' from dual; select 'move temp\* .' from dual; select 'rd temp' from dual; spool off exitThe trick is that xcopy have the /D switch that copy only files with dates greater then the date in the /D switch. So, you copy the files you want to keep, delete all files in the directory and then move the files back.

Does anyone have a script for Windows that will archive old network log and trace files and also remove any that are more than a month old (or at least be able to run under a monthly scheduled task)? I have done this in UNIX but not on Windows.
