Trash Will Not Stay Deleted

Hi,

My trash refuses to stay deleted. I delete it and close Thunderbird. The next time I log in, it's back in the Trash folder. This has been going on for over a week.

I have had Thunderbird for years so I know that it isn't in my settings. What is going on?

You could try right clicking on the Folder, select Properties and Repair the folder. Are you set up for an IMAP or POP3 account? Windows OS? The Trash folder could be manually removed in the folders and then it would regenerate but that would take a little careful work.
