I tried to run this command find -name "*.access*" -mtime +2 -exec rm {} ; and I have same error message
How many "*.access*" are there...?

if there are so many that you're finding the previously suggested techniques difficult to use, you can try the brute-force I sometimes use...
run: ls > list
then edit the file (list) with a decent text editor, one in which you can use one command to place text at the beginning of every line such that every line then turns out to read:
rm file1 rm file2
etc, as well as removing any lines for files you do NOT want to remove.
if you have 'vi', this command will do the edits for you: ":1,$s/^/rm /"
then make the file executable:
chmod a+x list
then run it:
./list
