Delete last argument in file 1

[UsRb]

Hi2all

I have listed content of backup directory in file popis.log by date (ls -lt). Now I want that script automatically deletes the oldest directory in popis.log (just one because backup directory fills with one directory every day). How can I specify deletion of last argument in popis.log?

Thx in advance...

A starting point:
rm -r `awk '{d=$NF}END{print d}' popis.log`

Hope This Helps, PH.
