"-atime" filters the find results based on the last-access time (atime) of the
file. The "+60" argument requires the files to have been accessed 60 or more
days ago to pass the filter.
"-exec" runs a command on each file that has not already been filtered out.
The command is terminated with a single semi-colon as an argument. Any
argument that is simply "{}" will be replaced with the name of the file being
processed.
Taken together, the command will remove any file (or empty directory) that has
not been accessed in the last 60 days. (It will try to remove non-empty
directories, but fail.)
