Our Outlook inbox can become a spam and advertising sink if we don't know how to manage web page subscriptions.

- //outlook.live.com/
After accessing through our account, we will click on the Settings gear that we can see in the upper right corner. Within this menu we will slide to the last option and click on See all Outlook settings . Then a screen similar to the one in the following screenshot will appear:

To unsubscribe from each of the subscriptions we will have to click on the Cancel subscription option .

Subscriptions option nowhere to be found? It appears that Microsoft has disabled this feature for certain users. The solution that some people have proposed is to load the web on a different device (mobile, computer, tablet ...) and a browser in Incognito mode. It should also be noted that the function is not compatible with Outlook accounts for professionals, companies or businesses. It is advisable in this case to create a new private user account.
And if you want to remove all the advertising in one sitting ...
Before proceeding with the unsubscription of all the distribution lists, we can write down in a separate document all the email addresses that we want to eliminate from our inbox.
With the address list in hand, we will click on the down arrow icon that we can find in the application's search bar. In the From: section we will paste all the addresses that we have previously copied. For example:

If we want to delete all emails at the same time we will have to click on the circle that will be shown in the top bar of the email client . Finally, we will click on the Delete button to proceed with the partial elimination of the emails.
To eliminate them permanently, we will go to the Deleted Items folder and follow the process that we have just described. We can also click directly on Empty Trash to permanently delete all emails housed in the recycle bin.
