I have a few folders which I would like to delete from my Outlook.com account. They contain several thousand messages each.

Outlook.com won't let me delete these folders. I've tried on two separate PCs running Windows 8 Pro and Internet Explorer 10 and in all cases, the deletion fails. Outlook.com deletes around 75 messages but then stops, and either displays a message stating that there's a problem with Outlook.com (that has nothing to do with my computer) or it stops responding entirely.

I was wondering whether perhaps a moderator could take a look at my account and try to figure out if there's a problem with it?

Many thanks!
