Thanks guys, it indeed worked!!!
However, I was wondering if its possible for it to run like a loop in recursive folders.
Below is what I tried to do though it didn't work out and I got "syntax error" message.
Line -
find . $(ls -tp | awk 'NR > 15') -exec rm {} \;
OR
find . ! -newer $(ls -tp | awk 'NR > 15') -exec rm {} \;
If someone can shed more light on this, that will be really great.

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)
NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...
DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
