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.

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.

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.
