Empty deleted items on exit

Empty deleted items on exit or a button to delete all deleted items with one click

The option to not have to confirm deletion

Just as in the Windows version of Outlook has had for a very long time

    Deleted items should be easier to remove to clear up space

    Would like to be able to delete all deleted messages with one click or atleast be able to mark all and then delete all. Very annoyingto have to delete each one at a time. It also freezes after deleting several deleted so have to switch to inbox then back to deleted and continue deleting until it blocks again

    Still cannot delete empty and unused folders. Not concerned about trashing emails. I want to get rid of folders.

    C’mon! PLEASE make it so we can empty entire folders in one delete! I currently have 23,000 to delete, I’ll be on the app FOREVER!!😡😡😡😡😡😡

    You should have an option or button that allows me to empty the deleted items folder without having to select all the emails. I often have so many deleted emails I have to manually delete page by page.

    I have supposedly cleared my deleted items folder (selected all then clicked yes when asked if I wanted to delete all items and subfolders). My deleted items folder is now empty of emails, but i cannot remove the subfolders. This is very intrusive, as my deleted items folder is in the middle of my regularly used folders. It should be possible to clear deleted folders from deleted items using the ios app.

    I feel like this should be a super basic feature to be included in a mail app. You have the option to tap a button to empty spam but not the deleted items? It's not super obvious you have to go and "select" an email and then tap select all and tap delete (repeat until empty) to purge the items completely. A one and done solution is much simpler and even Gmail, heck, even Outlook.com has this!

    Hi Team - Thank you for making a most useful email client OUTLOOK for iOS. Can we please add “Empty Bin” option for Deleted items folder? Like how we are having an option for Junk/Spam folder. I think it will be useful for many users.

    Thank you once again for making a user friendly email client.

    Thanks & Regards,
    Gokulraj GS

    I agreed with Stuart the need is to be able to delete all items from the deleted folder in one action which as far as I can ascertain it NOT AVAILABLE

  • wpb5@live.com commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Absolutely despise the fact u have to open every email to delete it. Then once again in the deleted folder. EVERY EMAIL AGAIN. Their there for a reason!

  • stuartdchapman@outlook.com commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This is marked as complete but it is not. The ask is not to be able to delete items (this is already available). The ask is to be able to quickly and easily empty the contents of the deleted items folder at once. At the moment the only option is to delete items one at a time which is extremely tedious, especially since there’s not even a “select all” feature in the Deleted Items folder.
