Consumer Microsoft products (Bing, Cortana, etc.) have broader licenses. Bing Places grants a 'worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, save, modify, aggregate, promote, transmit, display, and distribute your Data and Your Content...and sub-license any or all of the foregoing rights to third parties.'
“If you fail to remove excess content or obtain sufficient additional storage after receiving notice from Microsoft, we reserve the right to delete or disable access to Your Content.”
Microsoft may permanently delete Outlook.com user content upon storage quota breach without a defined grace period in this clause.
