Delete repeater row programmatically

Does anyone know if it’s possible to delete a repeater row programmatically (i.e. not through the admin interface)?

I’ve created a cron to loop a repeater field in my functions.php file – what I would like to do is delete the row if it is older than a certain date (the date is included in a sub_field within the row).

Any help would be most appreciated.

Cheers.

if (have_rows('repeater_field', $post_id)) {
  $new_repeater = array();
  while (have_rows('repeater_field', $post_id)) {
    the_row;
    // perform check
    // will depend on what you're checking for
    if (get_sub_field('the_sub_field_to_check') == $some_value) {
      // the value is one you want to save
      $new_repeater[] = array(
        'sub_field_1_name' => get_sub_field('sub_field_1_name'),
        'sub_field_2_name' => get_sub_field('sub_field_2_name'),
        'sub_field_3_name' => get_sub_field('sub_field_3_name'),
      );
    }  // end if check field
  } // end while have rows
  update_field('repeater_field', $new_repeater, $post_id);
} // end if have rows
