  I am fairly sure there are more.

• Here is a example script

  Sub DeleteOlderThan6months()
  
  Dim oFolder As Folder
  Dim Date6months As Date
  Dim ItemsOverMonths As Outlook.Items
  
  Dim DateToCheck As String
  
  Date6months = DateAdd("d", -182, Now())
  Date6months = Format(Date6months, "mm/dd/yyyy")
  
  
  Set oFolder = Application.Session.PickFolder 'or set your folder
  
  DateToCheck = "[Received] <= """ & Date6months & """"
  
  Set ItemsOverMonths = oFolder.Items.Restrict(DateToCheck)
  
  For i = ItemsOverMonths.Count To 1 Step -1
      ItemsOverMonths.Item(i).Delete
  Next
  
  
  Set ItemsOverMonths = Nothing
  Set oFolder = Nothing
  
  
  End Sub
