In Satellite, I've written a script to do that for all the "Show differences
..." actions. It takes completed and failed actions, moves them to archived
actions, then deletes them from archived actions.
It can easily be adjusted to purge a wider range of actions, and probably to
accommodate the age of the items.
It archives/purges 500 items at a time until they are all done.
Including it as a .txt, but it's written in Python.

Delete completed jobs. In this case, the only jobs we delete are:
-jobs that show differences between config files are on Satellite as opposed to
what is on the client.
They litter the list of completed jobs.
We can expand this to allow the user the option of only archiving, but for now
it processes a
specific set of jobs, so there is no need to do that.
It purges 500 jobs at a time.
