Hi Dena Jo,

The Deleted Items.dbx file in the OE message store can be deleted (with OE
closed). This default folder will be recreated when OE starts. A search for
Deleted Items.dbx can be done. It may be necessary to first include hidden
files in a folder view and include hidden files and folders in the search.

Open the Store Folder Alternative



1.. In Outlook Express click on Tools, Options, Maintenance tab...Store
Folder.
2.. Place the cursor at the left of the text of the path to the folder.
3.. Drag the cursor to the right until the text scrolls to the end.
4.. Right-click on the text and choose Copy.
5.. In the Start, Run box right-click Paste. Click OK to open the store
folder.

An even easier method when opening that page is to use the Tab to
highlight the folder location, then Ctrl+C and close OE, then use Start/Run
and Ctrl+V. Same caveat about hidden files applies but can be easily
modified in Explorer by using Tools/Folder Options.

Every time I try to delete something or empty the Delete Folder, or
even close out of OE, the program bombs. Suggestions?
