Delete Commands in Microsoft Outlook
Delete Group Commands
-
Archive will move the selected email or emails to the Archive folder. Please note that Archive is different from Online Archive if your organization uses Online Archive.
-
Delete will send an email to the Deleted Items folder. A great tip is to do Shift + Delete to permanently delete an email. Shift + Delete will not send the email to the Deleted folder.
-
Ignore Conversation will move the current Conversation and future conversations to the deleted folder. Use this when you receive an email you don't care about, and anticipate a lot of Reply All messages.
-
Clean Up will remove redundant messages in the current Conversation. Usually, with Reply All or replies, some messages get shown twice. Clean Up will remove the redundant message.
-
Junk allows you to add a sender or domain to your Junk list. You can also make senders safe if they are getting picked up for Junk.

Excel - Advanced Filters
Excel filters are great for seeing just a subset of your data. You can use filters for text, numbers, and dates, but also by color. You can use font color or fill color (the paint can). You can also use Advanced Filters. You Advanced Filters when you are looking at multiple fields but for different criteria. For example, I want to filter and only see people in Georgia and New York. That is easy to do and can be done with the drop-down filter. But, for Georgia, I want to see people who are Single, and for New York, I want to see Family. That requires an Advanced Filter.
