Delete a file from server

I have the successfully processed file under completed folder in server using file listener. Now, I want to delete the same file when it is older than 2 days, Ex: If I save the file in completed folder on jan 1st then  the file should be deleted from the folder on jan4th. How do we implement this scenario?

If you are using Windows, you could accomplish this with a batch script, and task scheduler.

For Linux, here is a good article that explains one way to accomplish this: Delete files on Linux using a scheduled Cron job
