"Report Phishing" no longer go to Deleted Folder

In the past few days, I've noticed if I tick emails in the Junk folder to "Report Phishing", they no longer go to the deleted folder. They disappear momentarily and I get the "nothing in junk icon, etc. but, if I go to the inbox and back to the Junk folder, those emails are still there in the Junk folder.

    Given the date this problem surfaced, I'm beginning to wonder whether this was a Microsoft employee's idea of an April Fool's joke which they forgot to reset. The issue is definitely on Microsoft's end as - like everyone else affected -the problem started for me a few days ago and I have performed all the reset and clearing options to no avail.

    Find out who has a twisted sense of humour, make them restore the old code that they have so obviously buggered about with and then fire them.

    I had a "non-phishing" junk email from a trusted source today end up in the junk folder, marked it as phishing, and it still refused to be transferred to the trash. So its not the scammers doing something to their emails, its something with Outlook.

    But now I have to correct what I wrote earlier. If I trash phishing emails from my junk folder, now they are going directly to my "recover" folder where I can not mark them as phishing.. So I have to move them to the trash manually and then mark them as phishing, at which point they now end up right back in my junk folder and I have to move to trash one more time. So Microsoft has actually made the situation worse and its now a complete pain to go through the effort to report emails as phishing..

    Same issue for me started a couple days ago. No way all of us are having the same issue do to any settings on our individual computers. Microsoft has changed something and now they need to change it back.

    I am having this same issue. None of the suggested solutions have had any effect.
