I don't think so, but maybe it's possible to delete the item with VBA code?
You might try this: Move all of the folder items to another folder except
the one, also clear your Deleted Items folder. Assuming the item is in your
inbox. Copy this code into the VBA editor:
Public Sub Test()
On Error Resume Next
Dim F as Outlook.MapiFolder
Set F=Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
F.Items.Remove 1
DoEvents
Set F=Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderDeletedItems)
F.Items.Remove 1
End Sub
Place the cursor into the code, then press f5.
If nothing else helps: You could also add a new PST file, move all of your
folders and items but the one. Then make the new PST file the default one
and delete the corrupt old PST file.
