Deleting a Message Stored in a Local Folder
You can delete messages from any local folder. You should periodically delete messages from your mail folders to keep them manageable. When you delete an item from a folder (any folder), it is sent to the Deleted Items folder. Therefore, the message is deleted from your personal folder list, however it is not yet permanently deleted from Outlook.
