Autoarchive not deleting old mail messages in Personal Folders

[Sleepy in Seattle]

Auto-archive is supposed to MOVE old items to Archive folders, rather it only
seems to COPY them to the Archive folders. Consequently, my mailbox size is
not being reduced. Do I have to manually delete old items after they have
been archived?

Are you compacting the pst file after archiving?

AutoArchive does move old items from the source data store to the archive PST.
State your exact AutoArchive settings. State your Outlook version and data
store type.

Yes.

When you look in archive.pst and examine the items there, are you saying that
those exact same items remain in Outlook.pst? If so, I can't explain it.
