Empty a Folder Completely
In the Folders pane, right-click the folder and select Empty folder. In the confirmation message that appears, select Delete all. The messages are moved to the Deleted Items folder.
Delete Only Some Messages
If you want to delete only some of the messages in a folder, select those messages and move them to the Deleted Items folder. Here’s how:
Select the folder you want to clean. Its emails will display in the messages list. Tick the checkbox to the left of each message that you want to delete. If you want to delete most of the messages, select the check box to the left of the folder name at the top of the list to select every message in the folder. Then, clear the check box next to the messages you want to keep in the folder. Select Move To > Deleted Items. You’ll find the deleted messages in the Deleted Items folder.
If You Accidentally Delete an Email You Want to Keep
Find the message in the Deleted Items folder, select Move to, and choose the folder where you want to store the messages.
