Default Delete outbox content
I have Outlook 2016 and want to delete the contents of my outbox as I believe it is causing Outlook to crash. How do I do this?

Try moving the email in the Outbox folder to Drafts

Instead of moving the content to an inappropriate folder, such as the Drafts folder, you might try moving any messages you want to keep to the relevant subject folders and deleting any unwanted messages.

As for the crashing itself, have you tried repairing the Office installation (via Windows Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features > Microsoft Office (version) > Change > Repair)?
