I have specified $deletefilesolderthan=”1″

The strange things is only keeps folders a day old, folders created today are deleted. Please can you advise?

This script will delete all files upto that date but will delete the folders too irrespective of dates, thus you loose current files in the folders too, thats should be mentioned here.

It only deletes files/folders for me when a negative value is provided for $deletefilesolderthan e.g. -1 days, but then it deletes everything regardless of whatever value is provided for $deletefilesolderthan be it -1 or -365, everything is gone. 🙁
