Can't delete messages from the "deleted items"

In Windows mail, nothing happens when I click on "empty deleted items" or
when I try to delete them separately. I get the message "Unknown error", and
sometimes it says "deleting messages", but nothing happens.
How can I delete those messages?

See if this helps, it works for all folders:

Messages may be stuck in the Outbox when you use Windows Mail on a computer
that is running Windows Vista
