I'm not sure you should delete it. You can delete the message(s) that
cause it, though. Download and install this fix, with Windows Mail not
running:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090

Although it's labelled as for mail stuck in the Outbox, it also works in
other folders. If you don't know whether to use the 32-bit version or
the 64-bit version, try the 32-bit version first. Certain common
antivirus programs, such as most of those from Norton or McAfee,
or a recent one from Trend, tend to cause such problems, although
seldom immediately, so if you have such a program, remember where
to find the fix - you are likely to need it again.

You may need to delete those messages after the fix makes them
deletable again, though.

I have about 50 items in my deleted box that I can't empty out.

Download and install this hotfix, with Windows Mail not running:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090

Although it's labelled as for mail stuck in the Outbox, it also works in
other folders. If you don't know whether you have a 32-bit version
of Vista or a 64-bit version, try the 32-bit version of the hotfix first.
Certain common antivirus programs, such as most of those from
Norton or McAfee, tend to cause this and other problems in Windows
Mail, although seldom immediately, so if you have such a program,
remember where to find the hotfix and hope it will install again if you
need it again. A recent version of the Trend antivirus program also
causes assorted problems in Windows Mail.

Thanks for the help. As soon as I downloaded what you told me to do, I was
able to get rid of my deleted items

thanks again
