hi
I took away -ls and it deletes the *.txt in /testfolder but not in the subfolder central.
rm appears fine /bin/rm.
Although ls -lac makes the file look old enough to delete with ctime, but i got it to work with mtime, thanks folks.
End command that works -
find /testfolder -maxdepth 2 -type f -mtime +1 -name "*.txt" -exec rm -rf {} \;
