In keeping true to the concept of this blog, “Follow the life of an ERP developer, one post at a time,” this post allows you to “follow” something that I needed to crush – deleting files older than a specific number of days or hours including subfolders.
Many moons ago, I created an application that created log files capturing event details. The log files’ sole 
purpose was to review events and troubleshoot issues when processing these events. The files are saved in a folder structure divided and grouped by Year, Month, and Event Type. The grouping is helpful for troubleshooting and finding specific transactions, but with several types of events and, at times, a decent volume, there can be a decent amount of disk space wasted; realistically, there isn’t a need to keep diagnostic logs forever. The data does become stale after a certain period.
I created this PowerShell script to delete files from a folder and subfolders older than a certain number of hours from the time of script execution:
$sourcepath = 'D:\Archive\'
$CurrDate = Get-Date
$MaxHours = -1200
Foreach($folder in (Get-ChildItem $sourcepath -Recurse | where { $_.PSIsContainer }))
{
#"Folder: $folder"
Foreach($file in (Get-ChildItem $folder.FullName | where { ! $_.PSIsContainer }))
{
#"File: $file"
if($file.LastWriteTime -lt ($CurrDate).AddHours($MaxHours))
{
#"Filter File: $file"
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow ($file.FullName)
Remove-Item $file.FullName
}
}
}
If you want to specify the number of days, replace:
if($file.LastWriteTime -lt ($CurrDate).AddHours($MaxHours))with
if($file.LastWriteTime -lt ($CurrDate).AddDays($MaxDays))Remember to replace the $MaxHours variable with $MaxDays.

There is the SP-SCM1009 Airpot which is a product with a bill of material (BOM), a subassembly, and Routing. The SP-SCM1009 Airpot demonstrates the standard production flow. The SP-SCM1011 Airpot Duo requires item tracking and uses components that also need item tracking. Another item, SP-SCM1004 Autodrip, has been set up to demonstrate various flushing methods for components and operations using Standard Cost. Item SP-SCM1008 Autodrip Lite has been added to the Item List to show the use variants.
