I'm using the Microsoft Exchange web interface in Firefox. If I right
click on the folder, I get options like "Open Link in New Tab", "Save
Link As", and "Properties"..

If its a system folder such as Inbox or Sent Items, you cant delete the
whole folder.
In that case, click any email in the folder, then Ctrl-A, then Delete

Right now, the only way I know of for how to permanently deleting the
contents of an entire folder is to delete each page of emails, by
hand. That then moves the emails to the "Deleted Items" folder, at
which point, you'll have to hand delete everything there as well to
permanently delete it.

With 3,000+ emails, this is kinda a chore. View one page of 20,
select all, delete, and go to the next page. That's 150 times. Is
there a way I can just delete the contents of the whole folder and be
done with it?
