Hi Hosam. As far as I know there is no built in options for this (like 
good old flow tools). One way would be to use the find command (on *nix) 
to search for files older then /n/ days.

Example (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK):

# Remove files older than 60 days.

find /mnt/storage/silk/ -type f -mtime +60 -exec rm {} \;

Regards,
Otto.
