[Solved] Issue with deleting files through find

Hi,
I have a script similar to this
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
cd /orcl/bir/eod_badfiles
find ./ -type f -name "*.csv" -mtime +6 -exec rm -f {} \;
find ./ -type f -name "*.bad" -mtime +6 -exec rm -f {} \;
cd /orcl/bir
find ./ -type f -name "*.log" -mtime +6 -exec rm -f {} \;

This was working fine in one of the environment. When I'm using it in another environment it's giving an error.
Code:
find: ./lost+found: Permission denied

This is because a root directory lost+found is present. How can i skip subdirectories and delete only the files only from the current directory?

Or is there a way where the script would proceed ignoring the permission denied error?
