I have used ls in a if loop to know what all are the exists with the yesterday's datestamp...First you have to verify the files and directories and then after you can uncomment the rm command...But please do test it from your end.
And also mentioned the directory name in the commented.
bash-3.00$ find_sterdate.sh
Today is ---> 22-03-2010
Yesterday is ---> 21-03-2010
The complete format in DD-MON-YYYY is ---> 21-Mar-2010
The Script will delete all the files and directories which was created on 21-03-2010
Number of files found to delete ---> 0

Try to change the value of the "v_todaysdate" (v_todaysdate = 23) and also verify the code...If the script is giving the results as per the expectations then you can schedule through crontab...First you verify the ode carefully.
I mean to say that if today is 1st of Apr then the script should verify those fiels which were created on 31st Mar..month will be change over here!!!
