Or you could try highlighting the deleted items folder and go to
Tools....several ways really. Did you REALLY try very hard to find this out?

Or of course there's fairly comprehensive instructions in how to "empty the
Deleted Items" folder in OUTLOOK HELP..........

And just what happened when tried to delete those items? The Deleted
Items folder obviously doesn't hold any deleted items since you can
still access them. It is a holding folder, just like any of other
folder.

All that professed research and yet you didn't even bother to try
deleting anything.

Deleting e mail
 
My appologies
I did not explain myself well at all being too close to my problem.

I would like to delete the earlier e mails without haveing to select each in
dividual one.

My bucket is full but I do not want to empty it fully only upto a certain
date
so that I have the remainder for possible reference.

Sort them by date, newest on top.

Find the most recent one that you want to delete and highlight it
using your mouse.

Scroll down the view to the bottom of the list.

Hold your SHIFT key and use your mouse to highlight the last entry.

If you did it right, every email you want to delete should be
highlighted.

Can you take it from here?

Uncle Grumpy gives a good explanation, but your statement here begs a
question: why are you keeping items you might want to keep in the Deleted
Items folder?
