Remove file isn't working
I'm trying to delete the files that are 5 days old..
Clearly the modified date is April 15 for workorders.sql
My code won't delete it. However if I use +4 then it will delete it. Am I missing something?

Code:
-rw-r--r-- 1 dbadmin dbadmin    1331824 Apr 15 18:34 wmweb_test.sql.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 dbadmin dbadmin 6531478011 Apr 15 19:10 workorders.sql


Code:
find ~/delete/2020-04-15/*.sql -type f -atime +5 -exec rm -rf '{}' \;

I also tried with but it still doesn't delete the file.
Code:
find ~/delete/2020-04-15/*.sql -type f -mtime +5 -exec rm -rf '{}' \;
find ~/delete/2020-04-15/*.sql -type f -ctime +5 -exec rm -rf '{}' \;
