How to delete copy mail from outlook
To delete a copy of a sent email in Outlook, you can follow these steps:
Method 1: Delete a copy of a sent email from the Sent Items folder
- Open Outlook and navigate to the Sent Items folder.
- Find the email you want to delete the copy of and select it.
- Right-click on the email and select "Delete" or press the Delete key on your keyboard.
- Confirm that you want to delete the email by clicking "Yes" in the pop-up dialog box.
Method 2: Delete a copy of a sent email from the email itself
- Open the email you want to delete the copy of.
- Click on the "File" menu and select "Properties" or press Ctrl+Shift+F.
- In the Properties window, click on the "Tags" tab.
- Uncheck the box next to "Save copy to Sent Items folder".
- Click "OK" to save the changes.

Method 3: Disable saving a copy of sent emails

Note: Disabling saving a copy of sent emails will prevent Outlook from automatically saving a copy of each email you send.
