To empty the Deleted Items folder, follow these steps:
1. Open the email application or client on your device. This could be a desktop email client like Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail, or a web-based email service like Gmail or Yahoo Mail.
2. Locate the Deleted Items folder in your email client. The specific location may differ depending on the email service or client you are using, but it is typically found in the folder or sidebar labeled "Trash" or "Deleted Items."
3. Once you've found the Deleted Items folder, open it to view the contents. Here, you will see all the emails or items that you have deleted but are still stored in this folder.
4. Select all the items you want to permanently delete from the Deleted Items folder. You can typically do this by clicking on the checkbox beside each email/item, or by using the select-all option if available.
5. After selecting the items, look for an option to permanently delete them. This option might be labeled as "Empty Trash," "Delete Permanently," or a similar action depending on your email client or service. It is usually located in the toolbar or menu options near the Deleted Items folder.
6. Click on the option to permanently delete the selected items. A confirmation prompt might appear, confirming your intention to permanently delete the items. If prompted, confirm the action to proceed.
7. Once you confirm the deletion, the selected items will be permanently removed from the Deleted Items folder and cannot be recovered.
Remember to exercise caution when emptying the Deleted Items folder, as it permanently deletes all the selected items. If there are any important emails or items that you want to keep, make sure to move them to a different folder before emptying the Deleted Items folder.
