[SunHELP] why does this find cmd not work

Are your 23 hits directories?  "rm" won't get those.

To see: "find . -ctime +1 -ls"

..to limit to files only..
find . -ctime +1 -type f -exec rm {} \;

-M

Hi!
Does anyone have a clue about this find command issue
when i type
find . -ctime +1
i get 23 hits, and thats fine
when i then do this
 find . -ctime +1 -exec rm {} \;
It returns 0
but no files are removed, is there some issue with change time, access time,
when one tries to execute such commands,
Best regards
