How to setup Windows 10 to Auto Delete Files within only one folder after Specified Time

Question

Hello Microsoft Community,

I am posting to ask how to setup my church’s computer to automatically delete videos from within the videos folder in File Explorer after they are X days old. We film and livestream our services every week, but the computer is filling up on storage and we only want to keep the latest recorded videos from to say, a month’s worth of video and automatically have all the rest deleted so that we don’t have to remember to do it every week. We also want only the files within this one fold to be setup this way as I think we may have other files we do want to keep on the computer. Is there a way to do this?

Thank you for reading!

Sincerely,

Leah

Hello,

Thank you for the reply! I forwarded the article to another person in my church and he said he’d just manually regularly delete old videos.

I appreciate the help though very much!

Sincerely,
