How to delete old files in solaris

Many times we have a requirement where we want to delete old files. We rather want to delete files based on their creation date-say "n" days old.

For this we have very simple command in solaris->

find /directoryname -mtime +n -exec rm {} \;

example->

find /u9/prddb/9.2.0/admin/PRD_prddb/bdump -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \;

The above command will delete the files which are 7 days old in bdump directory.
