# set folder path
$dump_path = "E:\Shared\APP01\LOGFILES\RatingWebService2\Rating Comments\Production"

# set min age of files
$max_days = "-7"

# get the current date
$curr_date = Get-Date

# determine how far back we go based on current date
$del_date = $curr_date.AddDays($max_days)

# delete the files
Get-ChildItem $dump_path -Recurse | Where-Object { $_.LastWriteTime -lt $del_date } | Remove-Item
