Default connot delete messages with graphics...

Have recently encountered a problem, to which I have not been able to find a solution.
Certain e-mail messages, those with graphics, cannot be deleted. I can delete text messages OK and even some with graphics, but certain graphics refuse to be deleted, whether I use the delete key, the delete option in the dropdown menu or the icon on the tool bar.
I use XP and OE 6. Also Internet Explorer 6.
When attempting to delete, I get no error messages. In attempting to move a file that would not delete, to the Deleted Items folder I got the following message:

Help will be greatly appreciated- thank you.

With OE closed, delete the deleted items.dbx file (hidden). OE will make a
new one and that may fix the the problem.

Try holding down the Shift key while deleting them.

What size is your Deleted Items folder?
Empty the folder and compact.

If you turn off the Preview Pane (View, Layout) in Outlook Express you
can select and delete a message without OE trying to open it. For OE5+
you can add a button to the Tool Bar to toggle the Preview Pane off and
on.
