Vista - Cannot Empty my Deleted items folder

09-20-2007

When i go to empty my Deleted items folder, I get the usual message "Are you
sure you want to permanently the contents of the 'Deleted items' folder?" - I
click OK, and then nothing happens.

I have tried manually deleting the emails in my deleted items folder, and i
am able to delete some, but not all.

I see someone else had a similar problem with mail in their Outbox, and i
followed the link to the suggested patch for that, but did not download
because I do not know if I have Vista 64-bit or 32-bit (How does one know
which version of vista they have?? I only know i am running Vista Business.)

Thank you for any help you may have for me!

Aloha!
Jaana
p.s. My system is also sounding like a race car. If you tilt it sideways or
vertically, sometimes it will shush up - but it's rather difficult to work on
a laptop when it's standing on it's head. Any advise on this? Acrobat
lessons perhaps? :-P

Chance are pretty good you have the 32-bit version.
Go to Control Panel, System applet, and it will tell you if
your OS is 32-bit or 64-bit.

If you have to ask, it's 32-bit, but to be sure:
Click Start.
Right click Computer.
If it's 64 bit it will say so.

Open the computer and see what the fan blades are hitting.

Thank you both for your speedy responses!

I confirmed that my Vista is 32-bit, then downloaded the patch which was
recommended to the person who was having similar problems with deleting mail
from their inbox, but it did not resolve my problem.

I'm still unable to delete the contents of my Deleted Items file. :-(

Any tips on what may be causing this problem? Anyone else experiencing this
same issue?

Many thanks again!

Aloha,
Jaana

Hi Janna-

I am having the exact same problem- any suggestions anyone? What patch are
you talking about? This is so frustrating! Everytime I click on empty deleted
items, a new message box pops up, as if I want to write a new message!
Thanks for any help anyone can give!

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
It also works on other folders.

Assuming that after downloading the patch you installed it, I have no idea
what's wrong.

Assuming you are not running one of the non-compatible
antivirus programs (Norton or McAfee), the only other
suggestion I have is to upgrade to Windows Live Mail:

OK, well I appreciate your time - thank you so much for your help!

If anyone else should come across a solution to this, I sure would
appreciate it!

I've had the same problem and was able to remove the deleted emails by right
clicking on the deleted items folder and then selecting empty deleted items
folder. The emails were deleted one at a time. Not elegant but it worked.

Dave W. n/a posts	Re: Cannot Empty my Deleted items folder I've had the same problem and was able to remove the deleted emails by right clicking on the deleted items folder and then selecting empty deleted items folder.
