Personally I would use qsh or pase because I'm familiar with that. But if you want to do it in sql, you could do it in two steps. A query like this in RSS will give you a list of statements. You can copy the statements from the results window up into the workspace, and then run all the statements.
SELECT 'drop table kevin.' concat trim(OBJNAME) concat ';' FROM
TABLE(QSYS2.OBJECT_STATISTICS('KEVIN', '*FILE'))
where date(objcreated) >= '2010-08-03';
That gave these results:
drop table kevin.AAMU;
drop table kevin.AATD;
drop table kevin.ASACHECK42;
drop table kevin.ASACHECK68;
drop table kevin.ASASMC24AL;
Which I cut and pasted up into the workspace, and ran them all with no problems.

Hi Folks, is there any way to do this in sql?
I have files created on 9/2/21 in lib fbtemp and I want to use sql to
delete the files dated 9/2/21. How can I use sql to delete the files based
on the date or must I use qsh? I don't want to use cl if I don't have to
because it'd be easier using sql.
Thanks, Frank
