Hope its clear for you.

The correct one should be

Code:
find . -mtime 28 -exec rm {} \;

Also, just go with
Code:
find . -mtime 28 -exec ls -l \;

before executing rm , just to make sure that the files listed are what you need to delete.
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT IS THE ACTUAL REQUIREMENT.
READ THE FOLLOWING LINE OF THE POSTER's POST.
Ex : - If today is 28th Mar 2010 then I have to delete the files which arrived on 1st Mar 2010,

FOR THE ABOVE QUESTION ONLY I REPLIED.

I KNOW HOW TO GET THE PREVIOUS 28TH DAY.
DONT YOU KNOW THAT THE COMMAND WHICH I GAVE WILL GIVE THE 28TH DAY AGO? SmilieSmilie
