Clean up old files in Downloads
Sort Downloads by Date Added in Finder and move old files to the Trash. To see everything older than a month first, find lists it in one line — review the list, then delete.
Without Terminal
- Open Downloads in Finder and switch to List view.
- Sort by Date Added.
- Select the old files and press ⌘⌫ to move them to the Trash.
In one command
List files in Downloads untouched for 30 days:
find ~/Downloads -maxdepth 1 -type f -mtime +30When the list looks right, move them to the Trash (recoverable):
find ~/Downloads -maxdepth 1 -type f -mtime +30 -exec mv {} ~/.Trash/ \;Moving to the Trash can be undone until you empty it. Never use rm for this.
