I've tried to delete my messages in the folder. You click on the delete button and brings up another message that says do you really want to delete. You click on yes and it's done. However when I go back to private messages it still shows I have 41.
 
Did you go over on the right side & click a check mark in the little square to indicate which message you want to delete?
 
I just went to the left side and clicked on Edit Folders. The did the delete thing and it worked. I guess I just have to look harder at all the options.
 
Waiting for a round Tuit, I suppose ...

Speaking of that, I must be a pack rat because in adition to saving old messages, my Microsoft Outlook email Inbox must have at least a couple thousand old saved messages not to mention about that many in the Sent folder. I suppose that one of these days I will suddenly decide, "hey I feel like spending the next few days reading all of the old messages that have accumulated here".
 
you check the box on the right for each one you want deleted, then go to the bottom right and "Move to Folder" change to Delete and click the GO button.

As for Outlook, if you have 2007, you can make all kinds of off line folders and never delete anything. My business is such that I need to refer back five years sometimes so nothing gets deleted.

As far as how to work things here, I am working on some HOW TO videos, I just can't seem to get the size down under 5MB.
 
My business, "Being a Retired Geezer, Inc" does not seem to have that sort of requirement for retaining stuff.

Getting a video under under 5 MB is a tall order unless you shrink it down to about 40 X 40 pixels.
