MS Outlook 2007 - "Delete Items" Folder

[Frank in Dallas]

I am running MS Outlook 2007 on a Vista home lap top. When trying to delete
files (or folders) in the Deleted Items folder, I get a message that "the
Folder is full" and the items remain. I "right click" on Deleted Items,
select "Empty 'Deleted Items' Folder", and I get the usueal warning msg that
states "Are you sure you want to permanently delete all the items and
subfolders from the 'Deleted Items' folder?" I click on "Yes". I then get a
second warning msg that says "The folder is full."

The items DO NOT delete. I can delete items that land in my "Junk Folder"
without any problem. However, I am stuck not able to delete from the
"Deleted Items" folder.

Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas on what "folder" is full?

Have you tried turning off the Delete Confirmation from your advanced
settings and then try to empty your folder?

And have you run scanpst.exe against your data file (with OL closed)?

Did you upgrade to outlook 2007 from an older version and keep the same pst?
Can you delete them if you select some and do a Shift+Delete?
