So I am wondering how I can set up Windows 7 to automatically delete files after they have been there for a week. I am running a web cam as a security camera and it saves directly onto a hard drive, I want to be able to let windows automatically delete the old footage when I don't need it any more.

I do not know of any Windows 7 function that will allow this but I am sure you can find a utility or script that will do it.

One week retention on a security camera? That seems a little short.
