Hi

I cannot move folders to deleted items, cannot delete folders that
already in deleted items

message is cannot delete. right click to check properties etc. folder
is full.

I see some one else has had this. I have ised scanpst to repair the
file but this does not help. what does this permissions mean.

I did try going to control panel and running as administrator. I am a
Vista one computer user with admin privileges.

anyone sorted this out?

How big is the .PST file as is said .PST file a carry over from previous
versions? Reason I ask is that .PST files carried over from Outlook 97/2002
have size and count limitations. Max file size for these legacy .PST files
is 2GB (about 1.9 in explorer) and 65,535 items per folder.

You might also want to turn of the UAC (User Account Control) in Vista
it's annoyingly restrictive

UAC has nothing to do with this problem. I agree that the UAC is sometimes
annoying, but I generally don't recommend that average users turn it off.
For the same reason that I don't recommend that average drivers go without
their seatbelts - despite the fact that the seatbelt is sometimes
uncomfortable and restrictive.

Is your PST file sitting on a NTFS partition where you have full control of
the file?
