Empty Private Message Trash? - suzukimom - 11-22-2013

Is there a way to empty the trash can in the Private Message area?

I've used 83% of my space.... so I deleted a bunch of messages - but I don't see how to empty the trash can, so it didn't give more space....

I think there is a faster way than this, but I am scared to push that button, so I am giving you the longer way.

Click on the Trash Can button (going into the Garbage, haha!).
Then, just to the right of the Time/Date column, you will see a little box. Click in that box. It will put check marks in all the other boxes. Scroll down to the bottom of your page and click on Delete the selected messages. Lather, Rinse, Repeat with the next page..... Does that make sense?

Thanks for answering, Melisa! I just looked around to see if there was a faster or more automatic way to do it, and I didn't find anything.

There is that Empty Folders button, but I am scared it will dump everything, lol!

Ok - I did the deleting from the Trash folder and that worked.
