How to write find command to delete 7 days older files with selected JPGs ?

-2

I use Linux on Centos
And I need to remove the JPG in a file for more than 7 days.
But can't delete the JPG of the main directory

example: find /users/mac/desktop/test/*

Will output

/users/mac/desktop/test/test.jpg

/users/mac/desktop/test/test01

/users/mac/desktop/test/test01/test01.jpg

/users/mac/desktop/test/test02

/users/mac/desktop/test/test02/test02.jpg

But I only need delete this two .jpg

/users/mac/desktop/test/test01/test01.jpg

/users/mac/desktop/test/test02/test02.jpg

find /users/mac/desktop/test/*/*

Why find then, when you can echo or printf "%n" ?

– Kamil Cuk
Nov 22 '18 at 10:48

Because we need, for example, the "-mtime" option. My fix was to add the second /* at the end, so that it doesn't match JPG files in the parent directory.
