Are these folders? It will work if it's only a file but be warned, using -rf each time you want to delete something is very very very very dangerous.

I did some significant cleanup on your question to what I think you were trying to ask. However the only uncertainty I had was in regards to: "The issue here is there is a chance that I might have files received for January 30th so in that case I should not delete the latest file but I have to delete the rest".
Are you meaning to say you might have a file for January 30th, but not January 31st, and so in that case you should preserve the January 30th file? Is the list of file names sorted by date? Try logrotate , it's been created to do that for you without the need of scripts.
