Defender for Email Delete from Quarantine Action

1. Open a desired quarantined email, locate, and select the three dots followed by selecting the Delete from quarantine action.
   
2. When you delete an email message from quarantine, the message is removed and isn't sent to the original recipients. If you don't release or remove a message, it's automatically deleted from quarantine after the date shown in the Expires column. In the Delete (n) messages from quarantine flyout that opens, use one of the following methods to delete the message:
   • Select Permanently delete the message from quarantine and then select Delete: The message is permanently deleted and isn't recoverable.
   • Select Delete only: The message is deleted but is potentially recoverable.
