Here is an example of code that will delete directories and their contents older than 2 weeks.
-type d says that you are deleting a directory and piping that to xargs with rm -rfv
means to force delete anything in the directory.

Code:
find /path/to/directory/directory_prefix_* -mtime +14 -type d | xargs rm -rfv

NAME
dia - diagonal matrix DESCRIPTION
The class implements a diagonal matrix. A declaration whithout any parametrers correspond to a null size matrix: dia<Float> d; The constructor can be invocated whith a ownership parameter (see distributor(2)): dia<Float> d(ownership); or an initialiser, either a vector (see vec(2)): dia<Float> d(v); or a csr matrix (see csr(2)): dia<Float> d(a); The conversion from dia to vec or csr is explicit. When a diagonal matrix is constructed from a csr matrix, the definition of the diagonal of matrix is @emph{always} a vector of size row_ownership which contains the elements in rows 1 to nrow of the matrix that are contained in the diagonal. If the diagonal element falls outside the matrix, i.e. ncol < nrow then it is defined as a zero entry. PRECONDITIONER INTERFACE
The class presents a preconditioner interface, as the solver(2), so that it can be used as preconditioner to the iterative solvers suite (see pcg(4)). IMPLEMENTATION
template<class T, class M = rheo_default_memory_model> class dia : public vec<T,M> { public: // typedefs: typedef typename vec<T,M>::size_type size_type; typedef typename vec<T,M>::iterator iterator; typedef typename vec<T,M>::const_iterator const_iterator; // allocators/deallocators: explicit dia (const distributor& ownership = distributor(), const T& init_val = std::numeric_limits<T>::max()); explicit dia (const vec<T,M>& u); explicit dia (const csr<T,M>& a); dia<T,M>& operator= (const T& lambda); // preconditionner interface: solves d*x=b vec<T,M> solve (const vec<T,M>& b) const; vec<T,M> trans_solve (const vec<T,M>& b) const; }; template <class T, class M> dia<T,M> operator/ (const T& lambda, const dia<T,M>& d); template <class T, class M> vec<T,M> operator* (const dia<T,M>& d, const vec<T,M>& x); SEE ALSO
