You can do some clever stuff with forfiles.exe.

Subject: [THIN] OT - Tool to delete files not used in x months

 

Hi

Sorry for the OT question but Im hoping someone out there can assist.  I
need to find a tool that will delete files not accessed/modified in x
months on a Windows 2003 File Server.  It would also be great if it
logged whatever it deleted.  We have a server with heaps of old files
that have not been accessed in years and I need to delete the old files.
I had a look at Treesize Pro but Im hoping to find a better tool.  The
server in question has over 8TB of disk so Im hoping to find a decent
reliable product that can handle such data volumes. 

Thanks
Ang
