How to delete Outlook 2003 calendar items

J

In WinXP PC we use Outlook 2003 SP2 Calendar with a HP iPAQ Pocket PC running
Microsoft Active Sync 3.8. The sync is set for Pocket PC to WinXP PC ONLY
(and is not set to sync both directions). What I want to do on the PC is
automatically delete Calendar items over 4 weeks old even though they would
remain in the Pocket PC until deletion there. On PC in Outlook Calendar I
have AutoArchive set to "Archive this folder...Clean out items older than 4
weeks...Permanently delete old items." I find there is no automatic
deletion. How do I automatically delete as above? When I do a manual
deletion on Calendar items in the PC Outlook Calendar all is well; once
deleted they are gone and do not resync. Maybe there is no way?

did you enable archiving on tools, options, other? Set it to run daily or
every few days.

It's set to...run 7 days...prompt before...delete expired...archive or
delete...show archive folder...clean older than 4 weeks...permanently delete.

Boot on 10/20/2005 did not remove a calendar item for 09/18/2005.

When PocketPC with ActiveSync 3.8 places a non-recurring calendar item in
Office Outlook 2003 SP2 is the code in Outlook incapable of any cleaning as
per above example?
