Gmail All Mail folder does not follow the Retention Settings

I have attached a screenshot of the retention settings for the Gmail All Mail folder. This folder contains emails that have a date nine years ago. Can you tell me if I did something wrong in the retention settings?

I thought earlier today it was using the retention settings but I just checked and it is not.

Gmail manages its own folders. Unless you need AllMail folder for some purpose, I stronly recommend unsubscribing from it. AllMail keeps all that is in your inbox, sent folder, even the trash. That duplicating increases your resource use, your download time, and may double your PC disk space.
