I had the same problem. The only work around I figured out, no thanks to
Microsoft because their solutions never work...is to right click on the
deleted items folder and select empty deleted item folders. In my
situation
it managed to get rid of the emails that I could not delete, the only
catch
was, it only got rid of 1 email at a time instead of deleting everything
in
one fell swoop. As for Microsoft? Shame on them. They just have
broke-ass
software. I am seriously contemplating switching to Mac next year.
Looks like you have not yet found Microsoft's latest solution. Download and
install it with Windows Mail not running:

Although it's labelled as for mail stuck in the Outbox, it also works in
other folders. If you don't know whether to use the 32-bit version or
the 64-bit version, try the 32-bit version first. Certain common
antivirus programs, such as most of those from Norton or McAfee,
or a recent one from Trend, tend to cause such problems. although
seldom immediately, so if you have such a program, remember
where to find the fix - you are likely to need it again.
