Windows 11 Pro 22H2
I have been looking for information on Microsoft sites to find if advanced search capabilities are available? I want to delete files that are older than a specific date but 'Search' is very limited in what I can do.
Is there a way of performing a search that would return results with a creation date older than, say, 2016?

Hi and Welcome to Elevenforum. Everything Has that capability and more. Download it and give it a try. Forget Windows search. It's useless, IMO.
