Cleaning up archive folders

[GKW in GA]

Is there a way to clean up an archive folder without removing entries
manually. I have already archived my 'regular' mailbox by archiving it to an
archive file. Now I want to remove anything from the archive file that is,
say, more than 1 year old. If I go to the properties page of the archive file
and select the 'permanently delete old items' radio button and leave the
'move old items to:' button unselected, I get an error message saying source
and destination folders are the same. It seems like it would only delete
entries and not archive them based on the radio buttons selected on the
properties page.

AutoArchive only works on your default storage location. You can do an
Advanced Find and delete it from there.
