>With my above code. Lets say that I want to delete folders whose last modified date was over 20 days ago. BTW - there are no subfolders and there are no readonly. For folders - Can I still use the ADIR, will the atemps still work, how do I tell a folder from a file so I can use the rmdir?

And in addition to what others said, you'd need to check
- "D"$aTemps[i,5] (if .t., it's a directory)
- inlist(aTemps[i,1], ".", "..") - it's the current directory or the parent directory, you'd need to skip those
- and you'd have to check that the directory is empty or you wouldn't be able to RmDir it. To make sure that's true, you could just recursively do the same routine on that directory first.
