I try the highlight all, but in big inboxes, I always get an error "Some of the items could not be delete, they were either moved, already deleted or access is denied". I am logged on through an administrative account. This is why i've always used the M drive to delete, because I run into this problem. Any ideas?

Deleting them from outlook can be time consuming and highlighting all messages and hitting delete never seems to work on large inboxes. Is it ok to delete emails from that specific inbox folder on the M: drive? For instance, just opening a dos cmd prompt, changing directories to that folder and just del *.* ? Is this ok to do?
