Summary:
The Calendar app OS X Mountain Lion is missing the advanced preferences to "Delete Events X days after passing" and "Delete Reminders X days after passing". This is a regression - the preferences have been removed in Mountain Lion but were present in OS X Lion 10.7.5 versions of iCal and earlier.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Calendar app
2. Go to Calendar, Preferences, Advanced
3. The preferences to "Delete Events X days after passing" and "Delete Reminders X days after passing" are no longer present

Expected Results:
The advanced preferences to "Delete Events X days after passing" and "Delete Reminders X days after passing" should be available in order to enable users to manage the size of their calendar and to automatically delete calendar entries that are no longer needed.

Actual Results:
The advanced preferences to "Delete Events X days after passing" and "Delete Reminders X days after passing" are no longer available and there is no easy way to delete passed calendar events without having to scroll through each event and manually delete it.

Regression:
This is a regression - the preferences have been removed in Mountain Lion but were present in OS X Lion 10.7.5 and earlier.
