# JournalItem. Delete Method (Outlook)

Removes the item from the folder that contains the item. 


## Syntax

 _expression_ . ** Delete**

 _expression_ A variable that represents a **JournalItem** object. 


## Remarks

The  **Delete** method deletes a single item in a collection.  To delete all items in the **[Items](folder-items-property-outlook.md)** collection of a folder, you must delete each item starting with the last item in the folder.  For example, in the items collection of a folder, `AllItems`, if there are  `n` number of items in the folder, start deleting the item at `AllItems. Item(n)`, decrementing the index each time until you delete  `AllItems. Item(1)`. 

The  **Delete** method moves the item from the containing folder to the **Deleted Items** folder.  If the containing folder is the **Deleted Items** folder, the **Delete** method removes the item permanently.
