Come across a possibly simpiler way (un specified way), you can do the following if you want delete old files:

HTML Code:
find [path] -mtime +[integer] -exec rm {} \;
This essentially will allow you delete all files in a directory over a certain age, not sure if this is of interest to anyone but it will sort out my problem, I am guessing that you could do something similar with the above as well so that you can delete a pile of files
