What’s the best way to manage my Deleted Items folder?
Some Exchange users choose to empty their Deleted Items folder on an occasional basis. This might, however, lead to filestore quota issues. Most Exchange users prefer to empty their Deleted Items folder when exiting Outlook: check the setting via Tools, Options, Other tab. Tick the Empty the Deleted Items folder upon exiting box. Click OK to save. When you exit Outlook you will be prompted as to whether or not you wish to empty your Deleted Items.
