Unable to delete emails from outlook mailbox

I have been deleting unnecessary emails from my outlook client application, but recently observed that the emails are not being deleted from the server. My mailbox is 97% full and it is giving warning that I will not be able to send or receive emails once the mailbox is at 99%.

I am trying to delete emails, but they are keep coming back. I tried deleting emails in several ways, but the emails are not getting deleted.

Please help me in resolving this issue.

    This.

    I am so aggravated. I tried to use Outlook (my first mistake) on my personal laptop with my Gmail account. Synced it ... STUPID MOVE because I have been using the Gmail for 10 years and have .... a ridiculous amount of mail (because who has time to delete stuff all day long).

    I stopped the sync. Deleted the mail. Got a message from the app that it would be gone after 30 days. NOPE. I still have 10 GB of mail that I can't get off my fxg laptop and I cannot get this POS to factory reset.

    I've deleted apps ... tried everything I can think of.

    HELP ME

    Thank you, Dawn. Microsoft Support resolved it for me by utilising Outlook (Classic) in my 365 package. "New" Outlook has issues, which haven't been resolved since I first started this thread.
