Half a million files can take their time. Add a -print in front of your -exec to see if it's stuck.

You should also use the -mtime option instead of -atime since -atime timestamp will be updated even if you had just a reading action on the file. -mtime resembles to the date you see when you do a ls -l.
To express a "starting" and "ending" time you can also combine 2 -mtime like:
which should delete all files older than 1 year but not older than 2 years ie. the year before the last year.
When experimenting with this, leave out the -exec rm so you do not accidentally delete things if something is not according to your needs.
