Get rid of Outlook 2007 delete warnings.

Whenever you delete something permanently in Outlook 2007 -- either by deleting it from the Deleted Items folder, or holding down the Delete key when you click to delete it -- you get a warning to confirm that you really want to perform the deletion. If you're tired of these confirmations, they are pretty easy to get rid of.

In the menu for Outlook 2007, go to Tools > Options and then select the Other tab.

In the General section, click the Advanced Options... button.

In the General Settings section, uncheck the box next to Warn before permanently deleting items option.

Click OK as many times as needed to save your changes and close the dialog boxes. Once done you will no longer get a confirmation warning when you are permanently deleting items in Outlook 2007.
