find -type f -name "*info" -mtime +1 | xargs rm

This will delete all the files which ends with "info" and created 1 day ago. Please correct me if this is not correct!

Try this

find . -mtime 2 -print | xargs rm

It will work

find -name "*.dmp" -mtime +180 -exec rm -f {} ;

The above one liner will delete the files after searching for the coredump files under the specified directory path which are older than 180 days.
