How to Delete old partition and add new partition automatically

    I have a table in SQL Server 2008 R2.

    It has 3 years data i partitioned it in to 12 partitions(Quarterly). based on datetime column.

    In feature as new data inserted (or new quarter started) a new partition should add automatically. and the older partition should be deleted automatically.

    As time frame moving on at any point of time i just want 3 yrs of data only. New data should go in to new partition and data older than 3yrs should be deleted automatically.

    Can any one help me on this?
