The find command with the mtime or ctime flags will do this for you:
find /search/path -mtime +30 -exec rm -i {} \;
I put the -i flag here to prompt you for each file removed (linux defaults to this as I remember) - probably a better approach would be to copy them all to another directory and then only delete them once you are sure you want to get rid of them all.
+30 in this examples indicates 30 days or older.
You can put this all in your script.
Regards.
