Keith,
I haven't used Win 7 yet.
But don't they call it the "Recycle Bin"?
You might try
Start > Run > "cmd"
Then navigate to the recycle bin. It's a hidden system folder.
The attrib command used to be useful in identifying open files.
> attrib *.*
When they are open, the system won't normally delete/modify them.
But that was how Win XP worked, so I dunno.
Looks like a "Thuder-Bird" Windows issue to me.
I doubt if server access would help.

Hi,
This is OT.
I am running Thunderbird on win7. I am running the current version. I've looked for an answer and I find lots of people asking about the problem, however there seems to be no solution.
I moved aat number of folders into the trash folder and now I cannot get them out.
The account is configured as IMAP.
I've tried right clicking on the folder and clicking delete on the menu and I have tried emptying the trash folder.
Error message: The current command did not succeed... invalid command".
The only work around I found on line was to use web mail or another client to remove the folder(s) in question.
I do not have web mail nor do I have another client. I tried using my phone, however it does not remove folders just mail.
I do have shell access to the
server if that helps. Postfix and Dovecot.
Any idea are much appreciated.
Thanks!!
Keith
