Outlook 2003 and Junk Mail Deletion Question

[M. B.]

I currently have about 1,400 message in my Outlook 2003 "Junk E-mail"
folder. What I would like to do is to PERMENANTLY delete all of those
emails. I know that all I need to do is right click on the folder and
choose "Empty Junk E-mail folde", but I am concerned about this:

Currently, I have my Outlook 2003 configured that all email that is deleted
from within the InBox be SAVED in the "Deleted Items" folder. I am afraid
that if I empty my Junk E-Mail folder that all of those emails will be
"moved" to the "Delete Items" folder. How can I make sure that this won't
happen?

What I want on my system is that all copies of my emails from Sent Items and
Inbox be left in the Deleted Items folder, and anything that I delete (or
Empty) from the Junk E-mail folder be wiped from my Outlook 2003 with no
copies of them residing anywhere.

Thanks!

If you right click the Junk Email folder and select Empty then this action
"Permanently deletes the items" and they don't touch the Deleted Items
folder.
