			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>File deletion can be automated to a certain extend. Take the cache of an Internet browser for example. It can be set to be automatically deleted whenever the browser closes. Or the temporary files of a computer system. They too can be deleted during system shutdown.</p>
<p><a href="http://cyber-d.blogspot.com/2005/10/cyber-ds-auto-delete-101.html">Auto Delete</a> (via <a href="http://shellcity.net/?egg=a">Shell City</a>) by Dario Volaric is a similar tool for Windows. The main difference is that it will run at system startup or when the user executes it manually. Another difference is that it will only delete files in the directory if they are older than the age specified by the user. The time frame ranges from 1 day to 1 year.</p>
<p>The user can include subfolders automatically, select if the files should be moved into the recycle or if a status window should be shown during the deletion.</p>

<p>The software program will automatically close after the job has ended. The main limitation of it is that it can only process one target folder. It is also unlikely that the software developer will update the program anytime soon because the last update dates back to 2005.</p>
<p>Do you know of a similar application that can delete files if they are older than x? Let us know in the comments.</p>
