Right-click on the folder and then select 'Recover deleted space'.

Cheers!

In the folder Deleted messages are just a few messages. When I select one, the content of the message is that of another very much older message. After reindexing suddenly there are over 13000 messages in this folder. Then I delete all of them. There are no messages in this folder. I choose reindex again hoping this will end the problem, but no, after 5 or 6 minutes there all 13000 messages are back again. I update to the newest version of Pegasus Mail and repeat the actions. Reindex, delete all, reindex and ... there all 13000 reappear again. Then I delete about onethousand messages, reindex, and yes, indeed, all 13000 are still there. I give up and ask you for help.

I work with Win XP SP3 and Pegasus Mail 4.52

 Delete the folder, it will automatically be re-created when you next delete a message. FWIW, you should always force a compress when you delete everything in the folder so that your remove the messages from the data file as well as the index file.

Thanks for your help. It works. I just do not understand which command you mean with 'always force a compress'. Where can I find that?
