Cannot seem to delete old emails using Outlook connected to my - Microsoft Community

this odd. i'm trying tidy outlook.com account move fastmail (really disappointed how new outlook.com broken, , seems more broken every update).

at moment i'm trying delete emails before set date. 

in outlook.com impossible, because cannot select more 30 emails @ time delete, , have 10 years worth of emails delete take forever.

so decided in outlook 365 itself. selected emails before specified date , deleted them. emptied deleted folder. inbox in outlook 365 looks fine, however, despite giving time sync, nothing seems have changed on outlook.com. 

i noticed, in outlook 365, if search specific emails before date, still finds them! if @ inbox, before 2016 (as example) gone, if type stuff in search field, still turn in results!

i have tried purging inbox, i've made sure outlook 365 getting entire email history, these 'ghost' emails still hanging around, , nothing changing if @ account in outlook.com.

how **** rid of these 'ghost' emails? want delete emails in account before specific date.
