I have a folder on my hosting which I periodically upload something to - /public_html/uploads - and I'd like to set up a cronjob through phpMyAdmin to empty it out on a regular basis.

The current cron I have in pMA is

find /public_html/uploads -maxdepth 1 -ctime 1 -exec rm -f {} \;

(Ignore the fact that it's running every minute for now, it's so I can test it :) )

I know very little about what this command is actually doing, but it looks like "not very much". Can anyone help me fix it? :) Thanks.
