Hi,
I’m wondering how can I delete, on my .org file, the line that have:
- an old Timestamp (i.e. if I set a thing to be done today (<2022-10-24 Mon 17:26>)
- a TODO item (always with a past date) <2022-10-24 Mon 17:26>

That to have a more clean .org file.

Is it possible?
How can I obtain it?

Thank you

Renato

Could you please provide more details?

From my reading, you may be able to utilize org-archive functionality
(see 9.2 Archiving section of Org manual).

Pressing C-k on the heading will delete the whole heading if you set
org-special-ctrl-k to non-nil.

Also, the archive functionality I mentioned can move the heading away to
a separate file. See org-archive-location.
