I believe that the find(1) command can do what you want by using the
'mtime' flag.  You can also use the 'delete' flag once you're sure it's
getting the right files directories, etc.

Something like:

'/usr/bin/find /your/mirror/dir -mtime +15 -delete'

Would delete all files that are older than fifteen days iirc (this is
all from memory)....

Just 'man find' and that should give you what you want.

Good luck,
Marc
