Purge old messages activemq

Question

I'm trying to find a way to purge a few messages based on their timestamp. is there a way I can do that by doing any setting in broker config in activemq.

I need to do this because I'm using the queues to recieve and the configured db to store messages for later consumption. But after a certain (a large) number of messages in pending (stored) state I'm not able to dequeue new messages though they have different metadata.

Thank you for any suggestions!!
