A general solution for you to adapt and test thoroughly before deleting anything.


Code:
find my_trace_directory -type f -name \*\.trc -mtime +15 -print | \
                while read trace_file
                do
                        # Remove echo when sure
                        echo rm "${trace_file}"
                done
