Alternately, hold down the CTRL key while you click the individual e-mail messages that you want to delete. 2. Hold down the SHIFT key and press DELETE to permanently delete your selected e-mail messages. 3. To complete the deletion, you must confirm it in the dialog box that appears when you close Outlook.
