Automated method for deleting old distfiles? [SOLVED]

Problems with emerge or ebuilds? Have a basic programming question about C, PHP, Perl, BASH or something else?

Automated method for deleting old distfiles? [SOLVED]

I'm running out of room on my laptop and was looking for things to delete. Distfiles that have been long superceded look like good candidates.

Of course, I can pick through them and delete. But, I was wondering if there was some automated method that I could invoke (or should have been using) that would clear those out automatically?
