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.

    That's great and all, butt its been months. It did reduce, then started back up. Doesn't work.

    Hi KM.....I wish you the best. I am afraid I don't have a good answer for you, just keep deleting and they should taper off. Not a very technical answer, I know. Sorry! Michael

    Hello again Kathy......I am not a computer guy at all, I deleted them all one at a time and over a period of a couple weeks they tapered off. I am getting only 5 or 6 a day now. I don't have a good answer for you on how to get rid of them. The first day I got slammed was the worst and gradually decreased. Michael

    Absolutely not fixed. It is ramping up now. I had over 2,000 spam emails yesterday. I don't know what to do.
