Hello,
I apologize if this is listed in the forums already, but I have searched and searched.

Is there a way to search for folders that have a created and modified date older than 45 days?

I am trying to clean out a shared network storage area without searching on individual files. If I can select just the oldest folders and then delete the folders and everything below, it would make my job that much easier.

I appreciate any suggestions.

Sure, this is not difficult to set up. Open the Info Panel ("Window" -> "Show Info Panel" or F12), go to "Find Files" tab and set the "Date" tab like the screenshot below (also tick the "Not" part to the left of "created or modified" drop down as I forgot to do that ). The rest -- location, type, etc - is up to you

Thank you very much.

Hi and welcome to the XY forums!

It was actually a variant of this type of situation that brought me to XY! I wanted to find only those files changed in last few minutes...and if you want to do so, check out the little orange arrow dropdown to right of "between" where you'll find a nbr of common values that can be easily selected.

I'd also suggest looking at http://88.191.26.34/XYwiki/index.php/File_Find which, while not that pictorial, does describe it in alternate form from the Help file.
