The folder is full

Brian,
Typo, I used scanpst.exe not pstscan.exe

The problem is with all folders not just the RSS folder and the answer to
your question is yes I right click the folder and I see and click on the
delete option, that is how I got to the error message.

I am a home user and I'm using a PST that is just under 845,000KB. There are
2 folders I'm trying to delete, the first is a sub folder under my inbox and
the second is under RSS feeds.

Have you unsubscribed from the RSS feed? Are you right-clicking the
subfolder? Does Delete appear, allow you to click it, but produce the error?

While I'm not 100% certain I think this problem started when I used
pstscan.exe.

What's "pstscan.exe" and from where did you get it?

Try selecting the folder, then pressing Shift-Delete.

The response I get back is "Are you sure you want to delete the folder xx?"
When I press yes the response I get back a warning that the "The folder is
full." The folder is empty as I erased all entries previously. I also tried
to shutdown Outlook and restarted it then tried the same sequence with the
same results.

Right-click the root of the folder tree and choose Properties. Click
Advanced. What are the exact words see in the Format field? Click FileData
File Management. Select the PST and click Open Folder. What size does
Windows report for the PST?
