Delete files older than 10 Days in a directory

how do i remove sub directories of a directory and all files which are older than 7 days by a single command in AIX. pls help me.

I am using command as

#find /gpfs1/home/vinod/hpc/ -depth -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \;

so i want to delete all sub directories and all files from the hpc dir. which are older than 7 days.

I want to delete log files which are older than 5 days from a directory. But deletion should not be based on the timestamp of file. It should be based on the name of file. For Example todays date is 07/05/2012 and the directory contains 10 files of names like ABC_20120430.log, ABC_20120429.log, ABC_20120502.log, ABC_20120320.log etc.

Autotrash is a simple Python script comes with Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat which will purge files from your trash when they become older than a given days,purge older files to ensure a specific amount of disk space is free,etc.It uses the FreeDesktop.org Trash Info files included in the new GNOME system to find the correct files and the dates they where deleted.

I would like to list all files, older than 7 days, in a directory, but exclude all subdirectories in the find command. If I use find . -type f -mtime +7 all files in the subdirs are also included. How can I exclude them?
