You can do this with a cron job.

For this you could do something like ls foldername in the location server and then an ls in the central server, then use diff to compare the differences between the output. The differences will obviously be the files to be deleted, so you just move those files using the mv command to the 'to be deleted folder'.
You might want to use something like grep and awk to parse the output of diff.
That's how I would do it off the top of my head.
