Delete folder which is older than 2 days

I have used Syncovery to copy folders from network drive to local machine.
there are 3 folders updating in daily basis.
In order to keep the disk size small, I need to remove the older folders.
Can I have details instructions how to set the profile?
I saw a short FAQ mention this by using mirror mode, however I do not understand which options exactly I need to set.

Hello,
for deletions and clean-up purposes, Syncovery can only look at file modification dates. Not folders.

Is it OK to look at the file dates instead of the folders? If yes I can send detailed instructions.

Could you send me the details? Or post here?

And if you also choose "Remove Folders That Were Emptied", it might even remove the empty folders. This checkmark is on the Folders tab sheet.

I could not fully understand the info at https://www.syncovery.com/documentation ... an-x-days/



I cannot find the relevant menu on how to set mirror an empty folder to the destination using Exact Mirror Mode


could you send some screenshots on how it should looks like?

a screen that show what should be set on left and right at the new profile and its settings.
