How to delete all but the most recent files?

I have a program generating a report once every hour and the reports are saved to a shared folder. I have been trying to create a script that will only leave the ten most recent files, as of now I going at least once a day and delete the files manually. I've done some research, but have only found scripts that delete files after x amount of days or weeks, nothing for hours. Can anyone help me with this?

you should be able to modify this by changing the "59" to 601 and then it will kill files older then 601 minutes.
