You will have to delete it from the Outbox folder via Windows Explorer.
Tools | Options | Advanced tab | Manintenance button | Store Folders button.
Note the location of the messages stores.

Close Windows Mail.

Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder location you found in the
Store Folder dialog.

Locate the Outbox and find the message that won't send and delete it.
