Can anyone kindly give me a stepbystep EASY WAY to delete emails in BULK in Windows 8?

So far I have tried UNSUCCESSFULLY the following two methods picked from a website:-

Method 1:- Click the trash can icon button from the top right corner of your inbox screen.

My comment: But I dont have this trash icon !

Method 2:- Hit Alt, then EDIT > Select All.

My comment: I hit Alt but could see no Edit button on my screen!

Plse HELP as Windows 8 is driving me crazy!

With many thanks,

Joe Busuttil
