Mark it as read and then try deleting it. If that doesn't work just ignore
it.

Try using shortcut keys
I found that by keying "ALT' then "E" then "Y" it would delete each message
one by one.
I MAY BE WAY OFF BASE HERE... PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME
I think what's happening is that the database is getting it's messages
confused. When you first started having the problem did you notice that it
looked as if the computer was actually deleting the messages, but they still
appeared in the deleted items folder? According to the database, the deleted
items folder is empty. What we're having a problem is with clearing out the
messages names from the folder. I believe that is why we're getting the
'unknown error' message. The computer doesn't see that WE can still see the
message headers in the folder.

Try what I've suggested. Since I did the shortcut keys, I've not had anymore
problems with doing a MASS delete of my deleted items folder.
Everything works as it should now.

Let me know if this works for you.

Take care,

Pamela

What you can do for now is to ignore it.
Microsoft has not released a permanent fix for this bug.
If it gets to the point where you can't use Windows Mail,
temporarily switch to an alternate mail client, like web mail,
or Microsoft Outlook or the free Mozilla Thunderbird.

This worked for me, too. It looks like this is a known problem for MANY
months prior to release, and I found nothing in the microsoft kb about it.
