Delete files automatically older than 90 days

Question

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for a script or Cronjob command that I can execute that will delete files automatically that is older than 90 days. I have a few CIFS/SMB Shares created in NetApp ONTAP 9 (Model AFF a250) that are published to windows clients via Group Policy.  Is this something that can be configured on the volume level? Can't seem to find a KB Article on this topic.

You have to use your own script from the  Host-side, or any 3rd party tool to identify 'files' (names). However, you can definitely identify the snapshots that are older than 90 days. If you look up, you might find the ready script in one of our community threads. This script can be scheduled to run as cron or Windows task manager task.
