Default Error deleting contacts

I am receiving the following error when trying to delete some contacts:
"The messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem
persists, restart Outlook."

Please help!

There are countless causes for this error, and you've provided no
information. Search the KB for the solution that most nearly matches your
version and your steps to repro.

I too have the same issue, there isnt much information to give. The only
thing I have done is to create a test profile and copy contacts from one to
another...then I can delete. It almost seems the container (pst file) is
corrupt. Oh...and it doesnt happen on all contacts. I have been unable to
find a pattern. I have run the scanpst, it finds no problems. Isnt there
some log file to refer to? I have searched high and low and found others who
have the same issue but no solution as of yet.

So why don't you just create a new profile since that works?
