How to delete all emails before or after a date in Outlook

It is possible to delete emails that are certain days old from a specific folder on Outlook.com. Here is how to do it.

Outlook is a top-rated free email service that provides 50 GB of storage for your messages. However, if you’ve been using it for a long time and it’s nearly full, future problems could arise. Users are unable to send or receive emails when the storage limit is reached. In order to continue sending and receiving emails, you’ll need to clean up your inbox.
