The Automatic Deletes module provides configurable automated deletes.
 
To create an auto-delete rule choose a folder and set the number of days. Files in this folder and any subfolders will be automatically deleted when they are X days old. Empty folders of any age will also be deleted.

Autodelete can skip contents of home folders or shared folders nested within the affected folder tree. Tick the checkboxes to activate the skip.
To receive a notification listing auto-delete activity tick the checkbox and enter the recipient email address in the settings section at the top.

You can also permanently delete files without placing them in the Trash.
