Special Edition Using® Microsoft® Office Outlook® 2003

Deleting Outlook Items

If you decide that you can delete items in your various folders, you can select one or multiple items in a folder and delete those items. To select a group of items, use the Shift or Ctrl key while clicking on multiple items. There are several methods you can use to delete your items, and all but one method results in the item or items being moved to the Deleted Items folder. If you want to bypass the Deleted Items folder completely, hold down the Shift key while either pressing the Delete key on the keyboard or clicking the Delete button on the Outlook toolbar.

CAUTION

If you use Shift+Del to delete items in your Outlook folders, you won't be able to restore those items later from the Deleted Items folder.
