This proved to be useful in cleaning up a compromised site. List all the files created or modified within a certain time frame — in this case we are looking 30 days in the past:
find . -mtime -30 -type f -print
If you want to delete all files created/modified n days ago, you can do something like this:
find . -mtime -30 -type f -exec rm {} \;
Or this:
find . -mtime -30 -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm
