Use something like the following to delete files older than 60 days. 
You may want to add switches for hidden and read-only files. Remove 
the final /L after testing.

xxcopy f:\test\ /s/rsy/pd0/db#60/L

Note that this will also remove the source root directory if there 
are no files left within the root after removal of the old files. If 
this is not wanted, recreate the directory with an MD command or put 
a dummy file in the root directory and exclude that from deletion 
with the /x switch.
