Hi Cheryl,

Try clicking "Edit" (menu bar) and click "Empty Deleted Items folder"

OR

While you have "Deleted Items" folder open, highlight one of the
messages and click "Edit" and click "Select All" then click the big red
X to delete them all.

If this doesn't work, try only deleting a small chunk of them at a
time.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Congrats. Seems like you have windows vista also. Never had this problem
before. This system does all sorts of things it feels like it wishes to do.
Tried all the solutions suggested and still cannot delete the deleted files.
Tried deleting them one at a time and got a few then the error came up. I
see where microsoft will improve the product if I click "I accept". We'll
see. I haven't seen an improvement sense I started the product.

Ok Cheryl,

Do you have any message's that will not delete "Stuck"?

Read the top portion of this link about antivirus programs. If you do
have a stuck message, then do the section for the folder that you have
the stuck message in. If all else fails, you can do the "To Reset
Windows Mail" section.

How many messages are you trying to delete at one time?

Shawn

Left click on any one message, ( anyone ), press Ctrl key and HOLD, click A
key. All messages are now shaded . Click Delete.

Instead of the manual deletion, choose Options from the Tools drop down
menu, click on the Advanced Tab, click on the Maintenance button (near the
bottom right). Under Cleaning up, check the box in front of: Empty messages
from the Deleted Items folder on exit.

Very good idea, but ..... there will be no 2nd chance. They are all gone
upon exit of Windows Mail.
I'd like to double check before I drop the axe, but that's just me.
