Problem: I receive and reply to a lot of emails. That are then sent back to
me. The last email always has all of the prior emails in it. The last email
is the only email I want to keep. So basically everytime I respond to a
email I want to keep the email with the response in it and delete the email
that I responded too.

Display your folder in a by conversation view. When you receive the last message in the conversation, delete the others.

Additionally to Milly, here's a sample for how to do it with some lines of
VBA code:

Copy the code into ThisOutlookSession and restart Outlook.
