Cannot Delete Folder

[DanielLipkie]

Outlook 2007, Vista Home Basic Premium, admin account privileges, McAfee.

1) Create a new mail folder "FOO" under Personal Folders
2) Try to delete the folder "FOO"
3) Folder is transfered to Deleted folder
4) Try to delete the folder "FOO" from the Deleted folder

Get the error message "Cannot delete this folder. Right-click the folder,
and then click Properties to check your

permissions for the folder. See the folder owner or your administrator to
change your permissions. The folder is full".

(Sometimes I get this error after step 2.)

I have checked both the Delete Folder and the FOO folder. There are no
permissions to change. The Properites Administration

tab has a "This folder is available to: field but the radio button choices
are grayed.

I have run the Diagnose/Repair tool and no problems were found. I have tried
turning of McAfee email virus checking.

I have tried running the Compact on the Personal Folders and it completes
almost immediately.

I have the latest Windows/Office updates. If I start Outlook in Safe mode I
can delete the folder from the Deleted Folder.

I have tried rebooting Vista.

Background: I have an Access 2007 db with VBA code that creates a folder,
copies some email to it, deletes the folder and

then deletes the folder from the Deleted Folder. About three days ago I
noticed that the final delete step was generating a

"Cannot delete folder ..." error. After a lot of testing I was able to come
up with the simple 4 step test case listed

above. I am not aware of anything significant starting a couple of days ago
(other than April 1). No new Office updates have been applied.
