Permanently delete email in Outlook?

I have a flow that uploads a file to Sharepoint when it arrives to my inbox. After uploading the file, it deletes the email. While it does that job - is it possible for the email to be permanently deleted instead of just sitting on my Deleted Items folder until it gets permanently deleted after x days?

    Before deletion retrieve the "Internet Message ID" of a message. After deletion search this message in the Deleted Items folder by "Internet Message ID"  and then delete it permanently.

    Hi @olimilo ,

    I did a test for your reference.

    In my scenario:

    Note that the two dynamic content 'Message Id' come from different sources.

    The first one comes from the trigger and the second one comes from the 'Move email' control.
