Delete files older than with PowerShell

I run this script on a Windows server to delete files older than X days. The files are backup files from a LINUX/Ubuntu server.

	$Now = Get-Date
	$Days = “90”
	$TargetFolder = “E:\BACKUP"
	$LastAccess = $Now.AddDays(-$days)
	$Files = get-childitem $TargetFolder -include . -recurse \| Where {$_.LastAccessTime -le “$LastAccess”}

	foreach ($File in $Files) {
	write-host “Deleting File $File” -foregroundcolor “Red”; Remove-Item $File \| out-null
	$LastAccessTime = $File.LastAccessTime
	$FileSize = $File.Length
	}
