By , About.com Guide

My Windows Live Hotmail Inbox tends to fill with mail (not even spam), and more often than not only a radical cure can help. Fortunately, there's a swift and smart way to clean a Windows Live Hotmail folder with a few clicks.

Clean a Folder, Your Inbox Radically in Windows Live Hotmail

To clean a folder radically in Windows Live Hotmail:

  • Click the checkbox in the column heading, above all the individual messages' checkboxes to select all messages.
  • Browse the folder for messages you want to keep and make sure their checkboxes are not selected.
  • Click Delete.

The same works in MSN Hotmail, too.
