You can also use this stock it will remove old folder content depending on the passed iTimeStamp...

for example this will remove all files EXCEPT the ones that were created an hour ago...

ExterminateFolderContent("myStupidFoler/", (get_systime() - (60 * 60)));

PHP Code:

stock ExterminateFolderContent(const szFolder[]="myStupidFoler/", iTimeStamp=0)
{
    if(iTimeStamp <= 0) iTimeStamp = get_systime();

    new iDir, szFile[ 32 ] , szFullFile[ 128 ], iDeleted;

    if ( ( iDir = open_dir( szFolder , szFile , charsmax( szFile ) ) ) )
    {
        do
        {
            formatex( szFullFile , charsmax( szFullFile ) , "%s%s" , szFolder , szFile );
            if ( GetFileTime(szFullFile, FileTime_Created) < iTimeStamp ) 
            {
                if( delete_file( szFullFile ) == 1 )
                   iDeleted++;
            }
        }
        while ( next_file( iDir , szFile , charsmax( szFile ) ) )

        
        close_dir( iDir );
        return iDeleted;
    }
    else
    {
        log_error( AMX_ERR_NOTFOUND, "Directory's not found: %s" , szFolder );
        return -1;
    }

    return 0;
}

Good idea.. do you know what GetFileTime() returns when '.' and '..' is the filename? Does it return 0, -1, or error?

It's a function..its only a stock if you define it as a stock, typically used in include files, to avoid compiling it into the binary if it's not used in plugin code.

i didn't really test it, but i am assuming it returns 0 or below on failure, on success it will return the timestamp depending on the second given argument...

yeah i know it would be better if it was within the includes...

The windows library has the below, so it would be skipped. I recommend testing it before handing it off to the OP.

Return value
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
