In Hotmail, there is no convenient way to actually delete messages. When you delete a message it can be recovered and then you must mark each message to actually purge it from the system. There is no “Purge All” option. The best that I have been able to do is select about 20 at a time and then purge those. If you have hundreds of deleted emails, this is very tedious. If you have thousands, it is a horror show.
Does anyone know of a way to do this “Purge All”? I have googled it but found no real solution.
