    In SQL Server Management Studio, expand the SQL Server Agent, right click on “Jobs” and select “New Job…”

    in “Steps”, create a “New…” one and enter this:

    DELETE YourTable WHERE YourDate<GETDATE()-7

    or without regards to time use:

    DELETE YourTable WHERE YourDate<DATEADD(day,DATEDIFF(day,0,GETDATE()-7),0)

    in “Schedule”, you can make it run every Sunday or whatever you need.
