How to purge deleted items?

[Jolene]

Hello there

I have just started using Outlook to read my emails.
One thing I couldn't do though;
When I have deleted the unwanted mails, the mails remain
in my mailbox although they appear with a strikethrough
line across. I cannot find in Outlook any function
similar to the function "Purge" in Outlook Express, which
actually removes the deleted items completely from my
inboxes. I have ticked the option which says something
like "Remove items from the Delete folder when exiting
Outlook" but upon exiting and restarting Outlook, the
deleted items are still there.

But then again, maybe I am too new at Outlook.
Can somebody please advise?

Nope, that didn't work at all. I tried.

It can't be that difficult can it?
