How to auto delete files older than 5 days

Here's how to auto delete files older than 5 days. Open Notepad, enter the following:
Forfiles -p C:\backup -s -m *.* -d -5 -c "cmd /c del @path"

Save as something like: RecycleBinCleaner.cmd

Then create a service account in AD or a local user account with admin rights on the local IIS box and setup a Windows  Schuduled task to run it every night using that account.

 Bedeep, bedeep, bedeep... that's all folks! :)
