It's actually pretty simple. Just follow these steps: 1. Arrow down the tree list to the Deleted items folder then tab to the message list. 2. Press Control + A to select all messages. 3. Press Shift + Delete then Y to permenantly delete all messages from the Deleted items folder. That's it. Hope this helps.
