Hi, what does the Periodically, every 10 minutes option on the message filters do? I thought it would run the rule every 10 minutes but it seems to apply it as soon as a message arrives.

I haven't seen any documentation about this feature, which is only available in 68beta. Is 'Getting New Mail' unchecked for 'Apply filter when'? For IMAP accounts, is 'Allow immediate server notification...' unchecked in Server Settings for the account?

They are now but it doesn't seem to delete anything now!

Since it's a new feature, expect unexpected behaviour, bugs etc. I recommend doing a few tests before applying it to an important account.
