    Try the following:

    # Define the root folder path
$rootFolderPath = "C:\Path\to\folder\A"
# Define the maximum age of files to keep (in days)
$maxAgeInDays = 30
# Get the current date
$currentDate = Get-Date
# Define the subfolder path
$subfolderPath = Join-Path -Path $rootFolderPath -ChildPath "B"
# Get files in the subfolder older than the specified age
$filesToDelete = Get-ChildItem -Path $subfolderPath -File | Where-Object {
    $_.LastWriteTime -lt ($currentDate.AddDays(-$maxAgeInDays))
}
# Delete the files
foreach ($file in $filesToDelete)
