Hotmail account question

[TomcoPDR]

Does anyone know how to delete 10,000+ emails at once in hotmail?

I got one of those "scam" accounts (you know, the email you give to everybody and you use to sign up for shit you don't want in your real email)

And I can only delete like 30-50 at a time when I click on the top box to highlight the current page's messages.

How do I select ALL (10,000) of them?

TIA

Edit: "spam" account :facepalm: not "scam"

I haven't used Hotmail in some time but I am familiar with your predicament. I think one thing that might help is to increase the amount of messages you view on one page. I forget what the max is, but if you can go into your mail options and bump it up to view, say, 100 at a time or more that should speed up the process in deleting them.

Another option is to add the account to outlook and delete all messages from there

You can contact hotmail and ask them to do it for you. They have great customer service.

Took me a while, I'm down to my last 1,100 ish (from 15,000)

They have to be moved all into your trash folder first, and from there u can click the empty button and it deletes them all at once, first step is moving them there :rofl:
