Delete files by date and character count

Question

I have an interesting problem. I need to delete directories that are older than x days but are only numerical. We have a log folder that has log files that we need to delete but other files and folders are also stored in the same locatin.. Normally i would do PS scripts to delete all directories over x amount of days but i can delete all folders. I only need to delete folders that are fully numeric.

Wanted to see if anyone had any ideas?

What's the general format of the folder name you want to delete? — GregL, Mar 23 '15 at 16:17
Your question does not make sense / is not consistent. For example, it is not clear if you are deleting files or folders, and the 2nd to last sentence makes no sense. You also never actually ask a a question. Please edit to clarify your intent and ask a proper question. — dbenham, Mar 23 '15 at 17:11

$root = 'C:\logs'

Get-ChildItem -Path $root | Where-Object { $.name -match "^\d*$" -and $.LastWriteTime -lt (Get-Date).Adddays(-45) } | Remove-Item -Recurse -Force
