Hello
I need to write a simple batch script to delete all the files in a particular directory which are older than 24 hours.

Look at your vendor-supplied find(1) program. Do this with the command line
man 1 find
and you should see how to ask the find(1) program to delete older files for you.
I can't be any more specific, since you didn't say which operating system you're using.
Hope this helps.
