I've successfully solved the problem by exporting pst to another pst (File->Export...). I lost certain customizations (views), but resolved a couple of long lasting problems. Scanpst is not a panacea.

If you're not using an Exchange account, this is an indication that your PST
may be in trouble, since the message won't move to the Deleted Items folder.
Hpolding Shift while deleting bypasses that folder and simply removes the
item directly. I'd recommend emptying the Deleted Items folder, archiving
older items, then compacting the PST. Running SCANPST.EXE (the Inbox Repair
Tool) on the PST would also be a good idea
If you are using an Exchange account, perhaps the OST is approaching the 2GB

I am on WIndows Vista and using Outlook 2007. I am getting a "folder is full"

Is this a Unicode formatted pst-file
Choose File-> Data File Management-> Double click the pst-file and look at
the Format section. Is Personal Folders File appended with (97-2003)
Additionally, empty your Deleted Items folder and scan your pst-file for
errors with scanpst.ex

Re: Outlook 2007: "Folder is full"
It should actually be "97-2002" type file. that's NOT a new Unicode file.
Create a new Unicode file, set it as the default delivery location and copy
all your data to it, then close the original pst file.
Sorry, typo on my part. It was (97-2002).

Re: Outlook 2007: "Folder is full"
So has that solved the problem?
Outlook 2007 "Folder is Full"
I get the message "Folder is Full" when trying to delete a message stuck on my Outbox. No idea why it is sticking. Others still send OK. I am using Outlook 2007 and Vista. This just began a few weeks ago about the same time I synchronized with an iPhone. It does not happen often.
Outlook 2007 "folder in full"
I am having the same problem. Any help out there?
I am having the same problem.
I am having the same problem. It has only just started to happen and only
with (so far) 2 x emails in my inbox. I try to delete them and I get a
small dialogue box saying 'The folder is full' and that is all.
Coincidentally both sent from the same person however I have been able to
delete other emails from that person. I too have recently updated and
synched my iPhone.

same problem here too.replied to thread above with ppl having similar issues.

Seemed to repair that which was messing me up.
hope ya'll have similar "good" experiences.

When I try to delete a folder or move a folder, I get "Cannot Move The Items.
When I try to delete a folder or move a folder, I get "Cannot Move The Items.
The Folder is Full". If I try to rename a folder, I get "Cannot rename '<new
folder name>'. The Folder is Full". I get this even with folders that have
nothing in them.
I'm using Outlook 2007 with Windows XP and this just started to happen
yesterday. I do not have an iphone. I rebooted and still have the problem.
Any ideas on what is next?
TIA!

Outlook 97 w/Vista - "the folder is full" when attempting to delete email
I had this problem, too. The solution that worked for me was to hold the SHIFT key down while pressing the DELETE key.
