title: How to delete all files older than 3 days when "Argument list too long"?
body: <p>I've got a log file directory that has 82000 files and directories in it (about half and half).</p>
  
  <p>I need to delete all the file and directories which are older than 3 days.</p>
  
  <p>In a directory that has 37000 files in it, I was able to do this with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>find * -mtime +3 -exec rm {} \;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But with 82000 files/directories, I get the error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>/usr/bin/find: Argument list too long</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p><strong>How can I get around this error so that I can delete all files/directories that are older than 3 days?</strong></p>
