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

Would love to be able to do a search for specific emails (e.g,from the same source or with the same subject), “select all” within the search, and then delete everything in that search with one click.

Need to have a button just like junk mail to delete all in the trash box. Instead of deleting one at a time

Agreed. DELETE ALL/EMPTY FOLDER is needed for the trash folder.

Empty delete folder all at once like in spam instead of one at a time. What a pain!!!

Just like you have in the junk folder add the same type of empty all button into the the deleted items folder.

Can we have a delete all button in the deleted folder?

I’ve verified Outlook on PC, and Office 365 (Outlook Online). Emptied Deleted Items folder.
I noticed on iOS significant number of deleted items in Deleted Items folder. Only option to clear is 1 by 1 permanently deleting.
Outlook Online showed ability to Restore over 5,000 Deleted Items. I’d rather not restore and delete again. Because I don’t think this will empty Deleted Items on Phone app.

Empty item should be delete when closing the app

Empty all button

So time consuming to have to swipe each and every deleted item and then have to choose permanently delete. Should be a simple empty or permanently delete all option so that it’s not so tedious.

It’s just so incredibly annoying to find this feature in iOS Mail, but not in an app that’s supposed to be better.

I’m all about minimal interactions :). So I’d like to see an option in the Deleted Items folder that empties the contents of that folder exactly the same way as the ‘Empty Spam’ functionality provided in the Spam folder already does
Thank you.

Others have suggested this; I just want to add my voice to the crowd. Either make the 'select all' button actually select ALL. Or add an empty deleted items button. It's *really* tedious having to empty the deleted items folder 50 messages at a time. Especially when it takes a while to load the next batch of 50. Which it usually does. How hard can it be to get this right?

Still no Empty Delete button? What gives?? Other such requests have been declined. Why?
