    Hi David,

    Based on my understanding, you are trying to delete emails permanently, right?

    Usually, when we delete some emails, it will be delivered to Deleted folder. It is recoverable.

    Right-click the Deleted folder and empty folder, it will delete these emails permanently.

    It  will be unrecoverable.

    For example,

    Best regards

    Hello David.

    This question should be asked in the Outlook.com Microsoft Community Forum, which is more appropriate for this topic.
    As far as I know, the only way for you to be sure that your e-mail messages are deleted is to periodically check the Deleted folder and completely empty it.
    Also remember the deleted message could be recovered by executing a built in procedure (read here to know more about that) that is available in the Hotmail mailbox: try executing that operation on a regular basis, in order to verify that there are no messages recovered.

    Bye.
