# A Ruby On Rails script to delete files older than X days in a given directory.
# Quickly written by @coorasse
class FilesCleaner
  def self.call(days = 1)
    Dir.glob(Rails.root.join('path', 'to', 'folder', '*')).each do |filename|
      File.delete(filename) if File.mtime(filename) < days.days.ago
    end
  end
end

# call with FilesCleaner.call

This is pretty cool man

Should add handling for subfolders in this folder otherwise, your script will fail.

Shouldn't it be File.mtime(filename) < X.days.ago since you are comparing times? Less means older than.

If I want to delete files in rails public folder what should be the change in this
Dir.glob(Rails.root.join('path', 'to', 'folder', '*'))?
