My Outlook inbox is suddenly getting a ton of spam and I don't know how to stop it

Last week, my personal Outlook email started getting ~50 spam emails per day. I barely ever use this email address, so I am not sure how or why this began to happen. How can I stop all of this spam from getting to my inbox?

I have been flagging all of the emails as spam, but it doesn't seem to be stopping the influx of emails I am getting.

    The answer given is not helpful. The spam filters on microsofts new outlook email should stop all this nonsense without having to pay a premium. This did not happen with windows 10 mail so why now, come on Microsoft sort it out before we all get a new email app
