Step1
Remove files from any folder or your Windows Live inbox by simply clicking the check box in the column's header. This highlighted column is located in the upper left corner above the individual messages. Click "Delete" and everything will disappear in an instant.
Step2
Save a few email messages by following the same procedure. Before you delete, scroll through your inbox and uncheck the boxes of any emails you want to save. Then hit "Delete" and all the rest will be erased.
Step3
Keep your inbox tidy by creating separate folders for different mail categories. Click "Manage Folders" beneath your folders list and choose "New Folder" from the menu options. Name your folder and hit "Enter."
Step4
File your email messages into your newly created folders. You can file a message immediately after reading it, or you can move multiple emails simultaneously. Click the box or boxes of the messages you want to move and click "Place in Folder." You will have a list of your created folders to choose from.
Step5
Filter email to specific folders and tidy your inbox by bypassing it altogether. Click the "Options" button in the upper right corner and choose "Custom Filters." Click "New Filters," and add the email address or subject information. Select the folder in which you want that information filtered. When an email is sent to a folder, a number will appear next to it indicating any new messages.
