Unable to delete emails or empty deleted folder

MS Please do not answer with Browser troubleshooting - have already tried from multi PC and multi browsers.

Simple task makes Outlook.com un - usable

I need to delete all emails within Folder "Archive"

Select All emails, Delete

Times out

I can only delete 50 email as a time and I have thousands to delete.

Empty Deleted folder

Right click and empty

Outlook.com times out

I can only delete 50 at a time.

Very basic task - trying to clean up and remove un wanted emails.

Delete mass emails is failing and has been failing for two+ weeks.

Please no troubleshooting on

Sweep and Delete from rules (once clean - I will set these up)

Browser / PC issues (N/A)

This is a outlook.com issue that may be aggravated by the number of emails I received - I have corrected the incoming flow.

But would like to be able to delete the mess that made it into my email box.

Thanks
