Delete Fast

No waiting

Unfortunately, Outlook does not allow you to use CTRL or Shift to select multiple folders at a time to delete them. Also the process slows down as the contents are deleted and then the folder. A quick way to get rid of them is to drag them to the Deleted Items folder.

The same is true of emails destined for the garbage bin.

Recover Deleted E-Mail

Probably not

If you accidentally delete a piece of e-mail, or a folder, you can recover it in the Deleted items folder. If that folder has been emptied, you might have one more chance.

The following method works only on PSTs, when it works.

Things to remember:

This works under very limited circumstances

If the PST has begun compacting, it will likely fail

You're better off NOT emptying the deleted folder until you are sure you won't need the messages

Don't store messages in the folder unless you are sure the messages are trash

If, for some stupid reason you move items to the deleted folder and change your mind after emptying the Deleted Items folder, you may be able to recover the messages under very specific conditions.

Delete Days

Erase the future

If the need should arise to clean out your calendar and start fresh, here's how.
You don't have to erase all appointments. You can choose which groups deserve oblivion.

For Microsoft Office Outlook

Start Outlook, and then click your Calendar folder.

On the View menu, point to Arrange By, click Current View, and then click By Category.

On the View menu, point to Expand/Collapse Groups, and then click Collapse All.

In the Table pane, right-click each category, and then click Delete. This deletes every item that belongs to each category.

After you delete all of the items in all of the categories, the Calendar folder is empty.

Outlook 2007+ works the same way:

Delegate Delete Deliveries

Choose the folder

When you delete items from a Mailbox folder of another user where you have deletion privileges, the deleted items go into your Deleted Items folder rather than that of the mailbox owner.

Here are the steps to change that procedure:

Exit and Logoff Outlook

Click Start, and then click Run

Type regedit, and then click OK

Locate the registry key that is appropriate for your version of Outlook
For Outlook 2003:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Options\General
(Use 12.0 for 2007 etc.)

Right-click the DelegateWastebasketStyle value, and then click Modify

If the key is not present, use the following steps to create it:

Right-click the General folder

Point to New, and then click DWORD Value.

Type DelegateWastebasketStyle, and then press ENTER

Change the value data in the Edit DWORD Value dialog box to one of the following values:
8 = Stores deleted items in your folder
4 = Stores deleted items in the mailbox owner's folder

NOTE: Make sure that the delegate user has at least Author level rights for the Deleted Items folder of the owner's mailbox.

Quit the Registry Editor

Restart Outlook

Delete it and Mean it

Turn off the questioning

Deleting an item in Outlook sends it to the Deleted Items folder. If you're sure that you want to eradicate the note, you can hold the Shift key when you delete an item.

You will receive a dialog asking if you are sure you want to permanently delete it.

To avoid the nagging you can turn off "Warn before permanently deleting items" under Tools>Options>Other>Advanced Options.

Be careful because you can delete items that might have benefited from one more moment's consideration.

(If you're using an Exchange server, you can probably get it back)
