Deleting a folder in the Folder Tree, does not usually delete it from the
message store.

Follow up by compacting your folders.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: FileWork Offline (or double click Working Online in the Status
Bar).
FileFolderCompact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting
is completed.

I noticed that when I make a backup of my OE files, there are dbx files
for
folders that I deleted long ago. How do I get rid of them?
