I am running Office 2007 Outlook. But my Trash can not be empty why? It says
disk is full. I know my hard drive is not full. I had some help and I found
another post. But the question was not answered? Can anyone help me out?

Yes that is correct for some odd reason I can't empty the outlook trash?! I
have a lot... 5383 items... if I could blush I would.... (sigh) I guess I
could empty it out one by one. But its odd why it won't empty it all out?

Thanks for your help Ben.

Hi Ben,

Fido works with me I right click the Trash Bin (Deleted Items) in
Outlook 2007 Empty "Deleted Items" Folder. I click yes and then the warning
box pop up comes up and says Folder is Full. Sorry for the confusion. :( I
can delete the Items one at a time fine just it will take me some time. :(

Hi Ben,

Sadly to say that I just uninstalled Office Beta 2007 from my
computer. I had the pst file backed up from my Outlook before installing
Office Beta 2007 onto my computer. I am just going to put Outlook back on. My
question is now can I install Office Beta 2007 on a different computer and
still be good as that it is only installed on one computer? Thanks for your
help Ben.

You should be able to install it without a problem on another computer.

I have some problem.
Today I got this error in alert box and now I can't delete any message,
can't move messages to another folder, sent items don't move form Outbox to
Sent folder and now I finally crazy.
I move pst file to another computer, open it on Outlook 2003, manually clear
Deleted and Sent folders, delete (or archive) a lot of messages from Inbox
and other folders, move pst file back, open it in Outlook 2007, try to delete
one message and... got alert box again.

I uninstall Desctop Search without any effect, I archive Sent items and got
error message about full folder when send email, I start archive all folders
and again got a messages "The folder is full". Please help me - I don't want
to uninstall Office...

Have you already tried making a new profile in 2007 and adding your file
to that one?
Maybe your PST is broken.
Before you do anything, make sure to make a copy of your PST file.
You can try running scanpst on the file (it is in program
files\microsoft office\office12). This might work or it might not work,
as scanpst still has some issues in B2. Worst case, it will make your
PST unusable, so make sure you have that backup.
Your best luck might be to create a completely new PST in Outlook 2003
and copy all your stuff in there. Don't use import & export, as that has
never worked reliably.

I've seen this happen on virtually every installation of Outlook 2007, using
many different data files. Clearly it's a very serious bug, yet I haven't
found a solution to it. It *appears* as though there's something in the PST
file which 2007 doesn't like.

The file can still be manipulated perfectly fine using 2003 - therefore to
delete and move around items I have to open Outlook using 2003.

Unfortunately even on other 2007 installations, the file can't be modified.
The only way, even after removing data, that I've found to allow 2007 to
start working again is to literally create a new PST file, copy over all the
data using 2003 from the old PST to the new PST, and then start using the new
PST in 2007.

I'm currently seeing this problem and I can't move files out of my main PST
file - which means that SpamBayes isn't working since it can't remove the
messages marked as spam - and am going to have to do exactly what I've just
said, which I was not looking forward to.

CFrom earlier in this post . . . . . You can try running scanpst on the file
(it is in program files\microsoft office\office12). This might work or it

PST unusable, so make sure you have that backup.

GeoNewClients - I tried above this and no help

Your best luck might be to create a completely new PST in Outlook 2003
and copy all your stuff in there - can this be done with Outlook 2002 and
service Pak 5?

Does Microsoft know about this serious flaw? It has already been over 2
months since MatthewH's posting! - GeoNewClients

Add me to the list of people who have run into this. .pst file was
~260Mbytes, so well below 2Gbytes, tried scanpst but that had no effect.
Finally had to create a new profile and copy everything folder by folder and
reset all my configurations, etc. With the number of reports I've seen, the
lack of detail in the error message, and the trouble necessary to recover,
this is obviously a show stopping bug.

I'm another person with the problem. I can create a new PST which seems
to work, but that causes organization problems and is far from an ideal
solution.

Currently my Outlook won't let me move files, delete files or to be
honest do anything useful.

Oh - and the inbox repair tool makes no difference before someone
suggests it again ;)

My own fault for ever thinking Beta was worth using. Live and learn :/
