I'd like to know how to get rid of old items from calendar completely, as
opposed to archiving. I sync with my PDA and my old items are clogging up the
memory.
 
What is wrong with archiving? It keeps a copy of your old items that you can refer to when needed. Just ensure you have your archive settings set to delete from folder once archived.

One way of for you to tell the sync software to sync only current and future
events. For example, I use ActiveSYnc and I synchronize only the last week
of old events and all future events. Another way is to use autoarchive
(although I know you said you didn't want to use that) and have it delete
old events as opposed to saving them to an archive PST.
 
I must be doing something wrong then. I am trying to do the same thing but
when I archive and check delete items older than, when I go back to my
calendar everything is still there.
