returned an unknown error"

etc.

I can't delete, send or receive mail.

I checked for updates. The second message has a

hotfix but only when

associated with shared calendars. That does not

apply here. I can tell a

lot of people have been googling the same error

messages, so I suspect we are

not the only ones with this problem.

Sorry if this is a duplicate response....
The only solution I have found that works (for me)...
The error stems from the outlook folder type being the old type (pre
2003 ver)
The folder needs to be of the newer type.
If yours already is then this is probably not the solution for you.
You cannot upgrade the folder to the new type so you need to create a
new data file (you are given the choice of which type old or new).
Select new type and give it a different name to your existing one.
Having created it you then must go file, open outlook data file,
select the new file. It will appear in the left column of outlook.
Then import the original mailbox into the new one (relevant subfolders
will be created as necessary). Once you are happy with the new setup
set your new datafile as the default (tools, account settings,
datafiles )and then remove the original datafile (this not deleted
just disconnected so if all fails you can go back to it )
Trust this not too confusing.

until today I had NO problems with deleting files.
Attempted to clean out Outlook records... and boom... the folder is full
Office 2007...

hope this helps: i had to create a new pst file and pretty much start over.
that means you will have to copy all your contacts to the new file, and i
lost everything on my calendar. i had to open both calendars and copy
everything i thought i might need 1 at a time. a real pain in the ass!! sorry
but thats the only thing that worked for me, but it did work. also i dont
know if this is related, but it seams to have happened around the time i
started using the new I-phone.

I would really prefer to not start over. I just started seeing a problem. I
was trying to move folders and I started to get the "folder full" message.
Now I can create new folders but I can't delete old folders.

Are you using an ANSI or a Unicode PST? How large is the PST?

I just started having this problem as well. When I try to delete a folder I
get the following error message:
"Can not delete the folder. Right click the folder, and then click
Properties to check your permissions for the folder. See the folder owner or
your administrator to change your permissions. The folder is full"

When I try to look at the permissions it is all grey'd out so there is
nothing I can do with that. What should I try next? Also, the folder is not
full. I tried to drag the folder to the delete folder and got the same error
message.

I am running Vista Ultimate and Office Outlook 2007 (12.0.6504.5000) SP2 MSO
(12.0.64251000). All my patches and updates have been installed.

Where is the folder you're trying to delete located? What type of data store
(i.e., Exchange mailbox or PST)?

Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

Brian,
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.

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

Brian,
I wanted to also mention that I can delete specific messages within a folder
I just can't delete folders. As it turns out it is any folder at this time as
I've tried a bunch of different ones.

Thanks

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?

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