Newbie here.
I need to delete the oldest folder on a removeable hard disk.  How do I check for this?
Many Thanks

You can find files which older than some time by using file loop or "Search for files" action. You can't find oldest (newest) folder directly. I wrote it into our ToDo list. But I can write a BASIC script to find oldest folder in specified path if needed.

Oleg,
Is there any documentation on the basic script language?  Any examples.  I'm pretty good with basic programming, VB etc.  Unless you have something already written.
Many thanks

Basic have complete help about language and Script editor inteface.
In script editor press F1.
A few examples with using BASIC scripts you will find in the root of tasks tree after installation of BASIC-plugin.
