#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Delete files older than the given number of days in the given directory
# Usage: rmold $DAYS $DIR
# Example: rmold 7 temp
function rmold() {
  DAYS=$1
  DIR=$2

  # Execute operation
  echo "Deleting files in $DIR older than $DAYS days old"
  find "$DIR" -mtime +$DAYS -exec rm -rf {} \;
  
  # Check if command failed
  if [ $? -eq 0 ]
  then
    echo "Files older than $DAYS deleted from $DIR"
  else
    echo "Failed to delete files in $DIR"
  fi
}

# Define a list of folders to look at
FOLDERS=(
  "/mnt/Data/Ryan-PC/Users/Ryan/Videos/TV/The Daily Show"
  "/mnt/Data/Ryan-PC/Users/Ryan/Videos/TV/Conan"
)

# Use the new command

do
  rmold 7 "$FOLDER"
done
