Use the Clean Up Tool to Organize Your Outlook Inbox

The Clean Up tool, which deletes redundant email messages from folders and conversations, is a great way to declutter your Outlook inbox.

When you see messages that have a lot of quoted content in them, this is where the Clean Up tool can come in handy.

In Outlook, make sure that you’re on the Home tab, and then click on the dropdown arrow next to Clean Up.

You have three options. You can either clean up the conversation, the folder, or folder and subfolders.

Clean Up Conversation – deletes redundant messages from a selected conversation
Clean Up Folder – deletes redundant messages from a selected folder
Clean Up Folder & Subfolders – deletes redundant messages and conversations from Inbox and any other folders

All redundant messages will then be moved to the “Deleted Items” folder.
