This command deletes all files modified more than 30 days ago in the current directory

# have a look at what it will delete
find ./ -type f -mtime +30 | more

# then get an idea of how many files it will delete
find ./ -type f -mtime +30 | wc

# after you are happy run with the -delete param
find ./ -type f -mtime +30 -delete
