How about Get-ChildItem * -Include *Defrag* -Recurse | Remove-Item from Delete File in Subfolders Recursively by Microsoft?

PowerShell is really powerful. This one can be done with one line:

Remove-Item -Path "pathtoyourfile\*Defrag*.txt"

And to your second question:

Get-ChildItem -Path "pathtoyourfile\*Defrag*.txt" -Force | Where-Object { !$_.PSIsContainer -and $_.CreationTime -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-15) } | Remove-Item -Force
