I need to delete many emails containing certain words in the subject. These emails have come to me all the time, so I can't just do a shift click to delete a range. Rather, I want to filter out everything that I don't want to delete so that I can then just delete what I want. To do this I've searched "This is part of the subject" in the "Search Current Mailbox" box.
Problem is that if I delete any emails inside that filtered view the deletion doesn't take. The emails are still in my inbox. If I remove the filtering I can manually delete any email I want, but as I said there are so many so that won't work.

What's the version of your Outlook? (File > Office Account > About Outlook). Please make sure you have upgraded your Outlook to the latest version.
Based on my test, delete the items in the search result(as shown in the below figure), then the deleted email will not appear in the original folder and will be moved to the deleted folder. It is suggested that you could try to create a new profile(Control Panel>Mail>Show Profiles>add) and add the account for testing to check if there are some differences.
If the issue still exists, considering that it would also be affected when the Outlook program itself is damaged, it is recommended that you try to fix the Office application.
