On a Microsoft Windows system, you can find files created before or after
a specified date using the Get-ChildItem cmdlet. To use the
cmdlet, open a PowerShell window - you can do so on a Windows 10 system by
typing powershell in the
Cortana "Ask me anything" window, hitting Enter, and then clicking
on Windows PowerShell, which should be returned as the best match. If
you wish to find files and directories before a certain date, you can use a
command in the form Get-ChildItem | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -lt
date where date is the relevant date. E.g., on a system
that uses the date format of mm/dd/yyyy where mm represents the month, dd the
day and yyyy the year, a command like the one shown below, which returns a
list of the files with a modification time prior to January 1, 2013, can be
used:
PS C:\Users\Lila\documents> Get-ChildItem | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -lt '1/1/2013'} Directory: C:\Users\Lila\documents Mode LastWriteTime Length Name ---- ------------- ------ ---- d----- 9/9/2012 10:36 PM Book Collector d----- 11/8/2012 8:25 AM Corel PaintShop Pro d----- 4/6/2012 2:37 PM recovered -a---- 4/14/2012 4:16 PM 761476464 Disc1.bin -a---- 4/14/2012 4:16 PM 941 Disc1.cue PS C:\Users\Lila\documents>
