Unable to make find command work

Question

My Goal is to find the files and delete them which are older than 1 day. I am using the command to find(list them) with find /trunk/logs/ -mtime +1 -name '*.log' -ls > $LogName or find /trunk/logs/ -mtime +1 -ls > $LogName. And to delete I am using find /trunk/logs/ -mtime +1 -exec rm -rfv {} \;. Unfornately I am not successful, here is from the server. can you suggest what I am missing ?

[trunk@Brave logs]$ find /trunk/logs/ -mtime +1  -name '*.log' -ls
[trunk@Brave logs]$ ls -lhtr
total 1.3M

[trunk@Brave logs]$pwd
/trunk/logs/

Note : I have tried same with +2 as well , no luck. But If I remove -mtime +1 I am getting the whole list like any ls -ltr

Possibly related: Why does find -mtime +1 only return files older than 2 days? — steeldriver, Jul 31 '19 at 18:37
Thank you , but that his/her question is about the behaviour of the command. For me, I am not getting the expected output with find command. — Varja, Jul 31 '19 at 19:25
From the output and description the failure mode is unclear to me. In my timezone those all would be older than one day? How are you unsuccessful? — tink, Jul 31 '19 at 20:05
@tink , thanks for response. That is the problem I am facing. I am not sure why its not working. — Varja, Jul 31 '19 at 20:20
Again: I see no problem. In my TZ this looks like the desired output. — tink, Jul 31 '19 at 20:31
I didn`t get it , are you also thinking like me why its not working or you are saying it should work and I am doing something wrong? — Varja, Jul 31 '19 at 22:44
