Periodically, you may want Outlook to automatically empty your Deleted Items folder to purge any old deleted messages that are no longer needed after a certain timeframe.
To accomplish this, in Outlook, right-click Deleted Items, then go to Properties --> AutoArchive tab. Click the third radio button for "Archive this folder using these settings," then select the bottom option to "Permanently delete old items." Specify the number of days/weeks/months after which you would like messages in Deleted Items to be permanently deleted. Click OK at the bottom to save and enable the setting.
