Good day @boismal!

000webhost supports Cronjobs. Go to 000webhost cPanel > Settings > Cronjobs to setup one.

Cronjobs can execute only PHP scripts. Core server functions such as exec() are disabled for security reasons; you’ll need to use an alternative code. What do you want to achieve?

This should to the desired task.

<?php

$fileSystemIterator = new FilesystemIterator('scan/perso');
$now = time();

foreach ($fileSystemIterator as $file) {
    if ($now - $file->getCTime() >= 60 * 60 * 24 * 15 && pathinfo('scan/perso/' . $file -> getFilename(), PATHINFO_EXTENSION) == 'jpg') 
        unlink('scan/perso/'.$file->getFilename());
}

I offered you a sample code. If you want custom code but you have no coding knowledge, you should either wait for a reply from another forum member, ask your question somewhere else, or hire a freelancer to write the code for you.

Our duty as moderators is to provide 000webhost services support. Writing PHP code for our customers is not related to it.

Check out these replies from Stackoverflow. Adapt the script to your needs:
