How to delete 3000 Outlook reminders that won't go away?

's Computer Specifications

Approximately 1 out of every 5 times that I open Outlook 2007, I get over
3000 reminders that I have dismissed in the past. When I use the 'dismiss
all' function, it bogs down and fails.

Is there a way to mass update/delete reminders?

You might try scanpst.exe, the repair tool, on your data file (with outlook
closed)
I've had a similar problem a couple of times, though in my case closing OL,
then reopening the issue went away

In addition to what DL said, you should try starting Outlook once with the
/cleanreminders command switch. Click Start>Run and in the Open field type

outlook.exe /cleanreminders

Be sure to include the space. Click OK.
