Comment:

is it possible to track file save date? the date when file was saved in a folder and subfolder. I want to delete files saved older than 30 days, refer file save date, not modification date.

Whats the difference between file save date and file modification date? You can't modify a file without saving it, so in effect, whatever it is called, they are both the same.

If you want to know the date a file was put into a particular folder without being modified, then you need to be looking at the file creation date. In those circumstances, the file creation date will be later than the last modified date. Something that gets a lot of people confused.
