Answer 1

You can lookup using the DirectoryInfo util

   DirectoryInfo d = new DirectoryInfo(dir);
   if (d.CreationTime    < DateTime.Now.AddDays(-7))
       d.Delete();

Answer 2

You can use DirectoryInfo

The voice of experience says to include sanity checks in your code that the directories you are deleting are in fact ones that you want to be deleting...
