This will be helpful if you manage a windows based FTP server and would like to keep it clean and spacious without manual intervention. There are N number of directories and subdirectories and FTP sers will keep dumping data to it without deleting the obsolete data( who cares). The administrators over a period of time will have a tough time to manage it.

 

Share your ideas to resolve this issue.... let us try to avoid third party tools and very complex programming.

It will not be a complex code may be few lines where we just need to check the last date and schedule a run time ... that's it
