I've recently attempted to cleanup/delete hundreds of messages all at once in a profile not used in years and in a mail program (Outlook) I no longer use. Thinking it would be faster than manual deletion, I simply deleted the .pst files. Now, however, when I do a search on anyone's name who has sent me an email it shows up in the search results. I can't open it (it only shows the first few lines of the e-mail) but neither can I permanently delete them. Even though there is a right click delete option, they show right back up when I re-run the search. Does anyone have any idea where these files live and why they can't be permanently deleted?
