How to auto delete blocked senders emails?

I want to delete blocked senders listed under junk email menu immediately,
without having to review Junk email folder for them.

You can do this but I wouldn't recommend it as junk mail might identfy an
email as junk when it isn't.

If you wish to proceed then go to Actions > Junk email > Junk email options

Thanks Richard. I am aware of this action, but I want to delete the emails I
have marked as "blocked sender" within the same "Junk email options" menu.

Thus, the only ones to be auto deleted would be those added to blocked
senders list.

I don't recall that you can actually edit the blocked sender rule. It's
an internal rule that you only get to add strings to (that identify the
sender to block). Disable the Blocked Senders option and instead define
your own rule and add senders to that one. Then you can define what
action that YOU want to commit when that rule triggers. Basically you
don't bother with Outlook's Block Sender option and instead create your
own blacklist rule.

Unfortunatley I don't think you can do that, but I totally agree. If I add
someone to a blocked list it makes sense that I don't want to read that email
and why should I then have to go manually delete it. You can make your own
rule, but that is a hassle. It's nice having the context menu option of just
adding the user to the blocked list. It would be nice to have the option in
the context menu of adding the users domain to the block list.

Alicia, did you ever find a "cure" for this problem?
