How to identify the oldest files - by modification time stamp? By UniqueID (if in increasing order)?
EDIT: OK, let's postpone the file identification question for now. I'd prefer a different approach. Your file names seem not to contain any white spaces, so deploying xargs seems safe.
After having determined the file count in /tmp/test having dropped below 30 just like Aia proposed, how about
? Should your system's config parameter LINE_MAX be exceeded with the resulting command line, add the -n option to xargs like e.g. -n50. Remove echo when happy with the proposed result.
