Nevermind, I found it in the Outlook Program.

Uncheck “Warn before permenantly deleting items.”

I am using your code, but I get the message pop-up asking if I am sure I want to delete the items. How do I get rid of that pop-up and just have the items deleted?

Hey Searcher!

Thanks for bringing that to my notice! I had actually uploaded the wrong code. For representational purposes I had copied and pasted that repeating section from the main deleted items folder and forgot to change the values. I’ve uploaded the new version now.

You don’t need to loop through all files – you can do a select all (ID 756) and delete (ID 478) directly.

Cheers,
Sab

Hi,

I came across your article when I decided to create separate PST files for each email account and realized there isn’t a logical way to remove deleted emails. Thanks to your code I managed to deal with the problem quite quickly..

but I’m wondering if you actually tested your code and it was working for you?

You are calling UID 1671 which is the main Empty “Deleted Items” Folder and as such it’s emptying only the default account, no matter if you selected another one.

So the solution is to enter the respective deleted items folder, loop through it and remove all items.

I thought I’d let you know ;)
