Deleting issues

[Sean]

I'm using Outlook XP.

Every time I try to delete an item, it tells me "Errors have been
detected in the file ...outlook.pst. Quit all mail-enabled
applications, then use the Inbox Repair Tool."

So I go and use the Inbox Repair Tool, SCANPST. I scan outlook.pst,
re-open Outlook, try to delete an item and get the same error message.

Can someone help?

How big is your .pst file? Can you create a new one and then drag and drop
the items from the old to the new one?

How would you even do that?

First things first - how BIG is the .pst file?

Says it's 65K.

65k??? that sounds like a brand spanking new .pst file. Is this the default
mail store?
