Of course it is possible. Don't be ridiculous.

Sorry, I couldn't resist stealing a line from an old TV sitcom.

On a GNU system, the following script should work.

REP="/var/www/html/hltv/cztv" # Copying directory
TMP_PATTERN="/tmp/cztv_pattern"
 
# First, create a file dated 6 months in the past
touch -d "6 months ago" ${TMP_PATTERN}
 
# Now find all files in the target directory that are not newer
#   than the pattern, and delete them. Do NOT descend into
#   sub-directories (if any)
find ${REP}/* -prune  ! -newer ${TMP_PATTERN} -exec rm -f {} \;
 
# Finally, delete the pattern
rm -f ${TMP_PATTERN}
