First "-atime +14" selects files whose last access was more than 14 days ago. See
https://www.unix.com/tips-tutorials/2...ime-atime.html
Next consider a set of files like this:
/toplevel
/toplevel/dir1
/toplevel/dir1/file1
/toplevel/dir1/file2
When you put files in dir1, this modifies dir1 but not toplevel so a
find /toplevel -mtime +14
will eventually find /toplevel. So then you do a "rm -rf /toplevel" the entire directory hierarchy is removed. "ls -ltr /toplevel" will report on the entire hierarchy as well. The find command is already scanning the directory structure. You don't want to use -r on the commands spawned from it in most cases. Even without -r, ls will, by default, show the contents of a directory unless you use -d with it.
