deleting files and folders matching criteria

Hello,

I'm spendind hours trying to figure out how a script could remove files and folders older than 30days in a given volume (/dataVolumes/Booba.1.0).
Within this volume, all users have their personal folder that starts with "RC-..", so the script should skip them for deletion.
I will integrate this script to a longer one, that periodically does the maintenance (fsck and defragfs) on the server.

Any help is more than welcome !
THANKS,
H.
