BEFORE I issue an "rm" command inside a find -exec, I always test it extensively to be sure it's working properly.
There are a few variations:
find /path/to/dir -mtime +7 -type f -exec ls -l {} \;
This will give a long listing of the files which satisfy the find criteria. i.e. the ones to be deleted.
You can also try:
find /path/to/dir -mtime +7 -type f -print
If you use "." in place of /path/to/dir - ALL directories below your starting point will be searched.
Typical:
cd /dir/to/purge
find . -mtime +7 -type f -exec ls -l {} \;
Good luck

NAME

SYNOPSIS
libgnutls-config [--version] [--prefix=dir] [--cflags] [--libs] [--exec-prefix=dir]

The libgnutls-config tool is used to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use the
libgnutls library.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
--cflags Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program using the specified library.
--exec-prefix=dir If specified, use dir instead of the exec installation prefix that the library was built with, when computing the
output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.
--libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link with the specified library.
--prefix=dir If specified, use dir instead of the installation prefix that the library was built with, when computing the output
for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. This
option is also used for the exec prefix if the --exec-prefix option is not specified.
--version Print the currently installed version of the library on the standard output.
