Need help with logrotation

Hi

I need help in rotating logs.
A folder /tftpboot holds following directories, these directories are created everyday automatically, these are backup folders, that is they hold backup of data.

I need to set up an entry in logrotate to delete these backup directories in /tftpboot directory that are greater than 1 week old.
Can someone help me how to do the same?
