Good question, Diane. They're fairly small compared to the usual.
Typically my boxes are many times the size they are now without
issues. I have in the past even hit the proverbial 2GB pst limit, and
Outlook slapped me around for it. But I archived since then and
reduced the item size of each box.

Anyway, the issue is worked out. I did a reboot and it released the
deleted stranglehold. (Reboot to the rescue again? g).

Thanks for answering my call for help anyway.

how 'full' is the deleted folder and the folder you want to move them back

Outlook 2003

After deleting an email, I normally can move the email from the
Deleted Items folder back to my Inbox. Or after deleting, I can Undo
and it restores the email back to its original folder. Now, for some
unknown reason, the Deleted Items folder will not let go of emails. I
tried moving, clicking and dragging, and undoing, but they are stuck
in the Deleted Items folder. All I can do to survive is copy them
back.

Any solution to this?
