Windows 10: Storage went up while deleting items

Recently, my storage has been bugging me a lot because it got pretty full relatively fast out of nowhere. One day, I realized my storage went up for some strange reason since I hadn't exactly done anything to make it go up. So, casually, I resort to deleting some stuff, of course, only for it to go up more. I used to be at 33.5 GB. I saw I was on 24.5 GB that day, and not all of a sudden, I'm at 15.4 GB.Can someone please help me find a way to fix this? I'm not sure if OneDrive is part of it since I cleared out my recycle bin. And it only slightly worked. Is there anything else I can check?

Deleted Items not synching.

There is a settings for Deleted Items that you need to configure on your device. To do that open Messagin on the devices and click Menu - Tools - Options. Click the Storage tab. On that screen, you will see the Empty Deleted Items drop down List with the
options to empty Immediately, on connect/disconnect and manually. Choose the one that best fits your needs.

 

Outlook 2007 Deleted items

Hi there

@Take a guess


on IMAP if you set in the config operations for each account you have the problems with -- Root Folder -->INBOX there should then be a deleted items folder. Restart outlook and when you delete items they should then go to the deleted items folder. Use Empty folder to purge the email.


Outlook 2007 and 2010 will work the same

Step 1 in account config -->change-->advanced choose the last tab and then enter INBOX (in English should be Root Folder in the menu)





Step 2 now do New folder on tab 3 and create Deleted Items on the server for the account





Step 3 move mouse to newly created folder for deleted items - your deleted items should now go into that folder after you restart Outlook. You might have to move the underlined mail etc first and then purge.

Recovering a deleted email from the deleted items folder or Recycle Bin

Thank you for the suggestion. The only message I find at the bottom of the message list in the deleted items folder is "To find older messages, use Search". My search did not work.

Thanks.
