I need to delete droplets that are older than 1day. When I do doctl compute droplet list It does not show my any info about age. How can I list and delete droplets that are older than 1 day?

Hi there,
I don’t think that the created_at field is available via the doctl compute droplet list command. What you could do is open a feature request here to get that added as an option:
https://github.com/digitalocean/doctl/issues
In the meantime, I could suggest using the HTTP API which includes the created_at date:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/api-reference/#operation/droplets_list
Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
