Outlook rule to delete emails older than stipulated number of days

While setting mail rules, I want to be able to set them and forget them. But, I have an issue with one particular rule where I am using a before datespan rule.

enter image description here

I have Before: ticked and specified a date so that if the email was received before that date, it is old and must be deleted.

That's fine, but with a set and forget mindset, I want to stipulate that if the email was received more than 28 days ago, rather than a fixed date, I want it to be deleted.

Is that possible?

I have noticed Outlook Rule - Move mail that is READ and Older than X days but this is for moving emails older than x days, and there is a workaround in the answers but I want to delete.

How to delete a large block of emails in outlook 2016 / outlook 365 provides a server side sweep in the answer rather than a rule, and so I had a look at that and it provides a fixed 10 days. I can't set it to 28 days.
