like this?

select * from table where datefield < current_date-interval '6 months';
delete from table where datefield < current_date-interval '6 months';

obviously, save the data you selected in a suitable archive file. repeat
this for each table you wish to 'archive and purge'.

alter the interval with whatever criteria you want to use for this
archive and purge operation.
