Delete button - hide in outlook
- In Old Outlook (which is our preferred platform) there is no control of the Delete button, it is not in the quick steps or quick actions to manage. It is fixed, not controllable. Poor placement and invisible until accidentally pressed! horrible by design. New outlook is avoided by most users.
Hi Fmudsy,
Please switch your outlook from MOUSE to TOUCH mode, it will disappear the DELETE icon from your outlook..
The steps are as follows:
Touch Mode spaces the buttons a little farther apart on the screen, so they’re easier to tap. You can turn on Touch Mode by tapping the Touch Mode button on the Quick Access Toolbar.
Or tap the Touch/Mouse Mode hand icon on the Quick Access Toolbar and tap Touch.
If you don’t see the button or the icon on the Quick Access Toolbar, you can add it.
Press, hold, then release any button on the Quick Access Toolbar, then tap Customize Quick Access Toolbar.
Under Popular commands, tap Touch Mode or Touch/Mouse Mode, and tap Add.
To turn Touch Mode off, tap the Touch Mode button again. Or tap the Touch/Mouse Mode hand icon and tap Mouse.
Regards,
MD

Hi MDadarkar
I had tried that and i did solve the issue a few months ago (the cross disappeared). But after a recent update, it is back regardless of having the touch or mouse mode, the bin icon appears when you hover on a message.
It is really annoying as it solved the problem earlier but something seems to have changed after a recent update. Thanks.
