How to remove old documents from Lucene / Lucene.NET

Question

What is the idiomatic way to remove old documents from the Lucene index?

I have a date field (YYYYMMddhhmmss) in all documents and I would like to delete something more than one day (for example).

Should I do a filtered search or list through IndexReader documents?

I am sure that the question is the same no matter what platform Lucene runs on.

Thanks!
