Deleted Items is probably corrupt.
Go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder and see where OE is
storing its data files.
Close OE.
Go to the store folder with Windows Explorer and delete Deleted Items.dbx.
With Win2K, WinXP and Win2K3 it will be a hidden file.
OE will build a new one when you reopen it.

If Deleted Items has messages you want to keep, instead of deleting it move
(not copy) it to an empty Windows folder. Then use DBXtract on the old
Deleted Items.dbx.
DBXtract ($5): http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtract/
You can drag the recovered messages from the Windows folder back into an OE
folder in the Folder List in an open OE.

You can try various ways such as CTRL-A and delete or Shift-Delete or do an
Edit | Find on the folder contents so you get all the results and then try
deleting from the Search window.

If none of that works you can also try my WMUtil program
(www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) and compact and repair the database and see if that
helps.

Otherwise, just ignore it.

Well all here's what worked for me. Right click on the "deleted items" then
click on "delete all " then click "yes" It did what at a time until I got
down to 38 deleted items left then they all dissappeared. Hopefully ya
understand this. Good Luck VISTA SUCKS
