I cannot delete large quantities of emails from my Outlook 2007. When I
select large amounts of emails and click delete, the whole folder will look
empty but when I click on another folder and go back the emails will still be
in there!?

Has anyone seen this before? Any known fix from MS?

Hello Michael,

Seems to be that the profile is corrupted or the data itself is
corrupted.
Create a new profile and transfer all the old data to the new profile.

How to create a new profile

>start>control panel>mail>profiles>click on add> complete the procedure.


How to import the data.

Note: Avoid copying the folder in which the data seems to be corrupted
( the data in which you were not able to delete.

Let me know the status of the issue.

No that didn't work.

Workaround - drag and drop into deleted items folder.
