i do not have a + next to my deleted items i only have the picture of a
recycle bin and i searched for the folder with the "find" feature and
could
not find it also I have not emptied my deleted folder thank you for your
help
Did you close Outlook at any point after you did this? If so, it's likely
you DID empty the Deleted Items folder. When you delete anything in
Outlook, unless you hold down the Shift key when you delete it, it will get
moved to Deleted Items. The Find feature won't find folders, but if you
recall an item that was in the folder, try looking for that.
