Welcome to the forum - your explanation is very short - is this what you want ?

:warning::warning: You cannot undo this - so be very careful :warning::warning:

If the date today is after 25 August delete all files in folder C:\Folder\SubFolder with extensions .csv .pdf .xla .xlam .xls .xls .xlsb .xlsm .xlsx

Code:
Sub DeleteFiles()
    Dim Ext As Variant
    If Date [COLOR=#006400]>[/COLOR] CDate("[COLOR=#006400]25 August 2019[/COLOR]") Then
        For Each Ext In Split("[COLOR=#0000cd].csv .pdf .xla .xlam .xls .xls .xlsb .xlsm .xlsx[/COLOR]")
            On Error Resume Next
            Kill "[COLOR=#ff0000]C:\Folder\SubFolder\*[/COLOR]" & Ext
            On Error GoTo 0
        Next
    End If
End Sub
