Okay, I found the Store Folder but it only allows me to change where I want
files stored, does not allow me to delete anything, and I don't see Deleted
Items.dbx...where is that?

You can determine the location by looking in OE at Tools, Options,

where is the "message store folder"?

Then the problem is most likely with a corrupted deleted items
folder.
Close OE, go to the message store folder, find and delete "Deleted
Items.dbx" and then restart Outlook Express. Also make sure you
compact
your message store folder often while working offline.

It is not with certain folders. I restart, open OE, read some
email,and
delete or move it to a folder. At some point, I am unable to delete
any
email
from any folder. The deleted folder does empty upon exit.

Try
creating new folders, and move the messages into those new
folders, then
close Outlook Express, and use Windows Explorer (WinKey+E) to
navigate to
the message store folder and find and delete the DBX files with
the names
of
the problem folders. You can also try a compact of your message
store
while
working offline since that can often repair "minor" corruption in
the DBX
files in the store.
