I want to delete outdated(up to yesterday) objects from the array

To be honest, you should keep in mind that never mutate your data

==> Just use it based on your needs.

You can use .filter to filter your data based on a given_date.

const data = [
  {apdate: "09-12-2020", booked: "14:30"}, 
  {apdate: "11-12-2020", booked: "19:30"}, 
  {apdate: "10-12-2020", booked: "19:00"}, 
  {apdate: "17-12-2020", booked: "14:30"}, 
  {apdate: "17-12-2020", booked: "15:30"}, 
  {apdate: "17-12-2020", booked: "19:00", phone: "9898989898"}, 
  {apdate: "10-01-2021", booked: "16:00"}, 
  {apdate: "29-01-2021", booked: "18:30"}, 
  {apdate: "01-02-2021", booked: "14:00", name: "Anand", uuid: "cPA7ND7U2jdw7qY6nHf4kWuxyx53"}, 
  {apdate: "01-02-2021", booked: "10:00", name: "Anand", uuid: "cPA7ND7U2jdw7qY6nHf4kWuxyx53"}, 
  {apdate: "01-02-2022", booked: "03:30", name: "Anand", uuid: "cPA7ND7U2jdw7qY6nHf4kWuxyx53"}
  ];
  
const convertStringToDate = (strDate) => {
  const values = strDate.split("-");
  return new Date(values[2], values[1] - 1, values[0]);
};

const filterDataByGivenDate = (data, givenDate) =>  data.filter(r => convertStringToDate(r.apdate) >= givenDate);


const today = new Date();
const yesterday = today.setDate(today.getDate() - 1);

console.log(filterDataByGivenDate(data, yesterday));

A more elegant way is using moment.js

const data = [
  {apdate: "09-12-2020", booked: "14:30"}, 
  {apdate: "11-12-2020", booked: "19:30"}, 
  {apdate: "10-12-2020", booked: "19:00"}, 
  {apdate: "17-12-2020", booked: "14:30"}, 
  {apdate: "17-12-2020", booked: "15:30"}, 
  {apdate: "17-12-2020", booked: "19:00", phone: "9898989898"}, 
  {apdate: "10-01-2021", booked: "16:00"}, 
  {apdate: "29-01-2021", booked: "18:30"}, 
  {apdate: "01-02-2021", booked: "14:00", name: "Anand", uuid: "cPA7ND7U2jdw7qY6nHf4kWuxyx53"}, 
  {apdate: "01-02-2021", booked: "10:00", name: "Anand", uuid: "cPA7ND7U2jdw7qY6nHf4kWuxyx53"}, 
  {apdate: "01-02-2022", booked: "03:30", name: "Anand", uuid: "cPA7ND7U2jdw7qY6nHf4kWuxyx53"}
  ];
  
const filterDataByGivenDate = (data, givenDate) => data.filter(r => moment(r.apdate, 'DD-MM-YYYY').isSameOrAfter(givenDate));

const yesterday = moment().subtract(1, 'days');
console.log(filterDataByGivenDate(data, yesterday));

The filter() method creates a new array with all elements that pass the test implemented by the provided function.
