Windows Mail does not allow me to permanently delete deleted email

I have hundreds of emails that I cannot delete. Everything I try, it says "an
error has occurred". At this rate my harddrive will be full in a month. Help!

Try the fix provided here:

Messages may be stuck in the Outbox when you use Windows Mail on a computer
that is running Windows Vista
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941090

The article instructs you to download and install the update appropriate for
your operating system, found here:

Windows Vista, 32-bit versions:

Or,

Try the Microsoft fix:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090

Although it only mentions the Outbox folder, it also gets rid of
stuck/undeletable emails in other folders.
