Sounds like you're using an IMAP mail server. You've got to purge deleted
items for them to go away completely. There's a command for that (Purge
Deleted Messages) on the Edit menu when you're viewing the IMAP mailbox

When I exit Outlook it does not deleted the Deleted Messages folder. This has
recently begun happening. I have the option checked, but it does not work now.

So, what DOES happen? What version of Outlook? What account type?
