My problem is that I cannot get the email messages to delete. I tried uninstalling windows essentials and did a reinstall, only to have windows 10 recover the windows live database. Now I have almost 800 deleted e-mails and 60 junk e-mails to try to delete one by one. When I hit the delete button it does nothing with the old messages. If there is more than one message under a heading then I have to delete each one separately. My junk folder will not let me delete them at all. How do I fix this?
