To handle spaces in filenames:

find <directory> -type f -mtime +10 -name "*some*pattern*.txt" -exec r
+m -f '{}' \;

On first run(s), you should consider using ls -l instead of rm -f.

I see you've used -ctime; here are the differences among Unix timestamps:

• Access Time (atime) - time that the file was last accessed (e.g. read) or written to.
• Modify Time (mtime) - time the actual contents of the file were last modified.
• Change Time (ctime) - the time that the inode information (permissions, name, etc., i.e. the metadata) was last modified.

Update: atime info corrected; for more see man 2 stat.
