I can't be the only person annoyed by the jumping buttons that dumps reams of data into archives when I was

trying to delete it. That has to be wasting my memory. I would like to do these things and I don't know how .....

1) remove the archive tab completely since I will NEVER use it.

2) empty the archive at one go.

3) access the archives and delete page by page through thousands of them.

4) Have Microsoft quit dumping upgrades on people and instead offering them as opt in

that way the techies would be happy and basic level people would not be floundering.

I have been told that I should just go to the folder marked archives and go from there.

The problem is I don't have  a folder marked archive and when I go in through the

control panel I also don't have a folder marked archive. When I use the search bar

and try to find archive, archive folder, archives and archives folder I get no results.

I would greatly appreciate simple directions in how to perform these tasks.

Thank you so much for your time. Harley Bissell - Indiana
