removing files in a given subfolder

Hello,

im new to this forum and directly start with a problem... Smilie

I have a folder structure like :
Code:
/folder/01/1/oldfiles
/folder/01/2/oldfiles
/folder/02/1/oldfiles
/folder/0x/y/oldfiles

Every Month a new folder adds automaticly from the system.

Now i need an idea how to search for files inside every oldfiles folder and remove files older than 20 days.
I can use "find . -mtime +20 -exec rm {} \;" to remove all files older than 20 days.
With "ls -lR|grep "\/Oldfiles" i recieve a list of all folders.

How can i combine this without big scripting?

thanks
Andreas
