Can't delete calendar items

I am unable to delete calendar items.  I retrieved archived items and received as many as 8 copies of a single item.  I can't delete any of those, nor can I delete any recent single item entered in calendar.  When I try, I get the "messaging interface has returned unknown error"  message.  Also, I am unable to sync calendar items with my PDA.  I'm using Outlook 2000 SP-3 and Windows 2000 SP-4.  This sounds similar to some other posts.  

Any help?  Thank you.

Are you using a .PST file?  How big is the file?

Incidentally, there's a better way to view archived data -- see

What is a .pst file?  How do I find it?

If you don't know what a .PST file is, how did you retrieve your archives?
:-)  Data that is archived using Outlook's manual Archive command (on the
File menu) or the AutoArchive feature is put into a .PST file.  And unless
you're using Exchange, your default data file is a .PST file also.

Tell us more about how these items were archived and what exactly you did to
retrieve them -- then we can give you more help on this.

Well, you can believe me when I say I don't know how to find the .PST file. My data has been archived using Outlook's manual Archive command (on the File menu) or the AutoArchive feature is put into a .PST file, just as you said.  When I search for .PST files, none are found.  When I search for the path shown in the achive command, it is not found.

So, I really don't know how to find the .PST file.

In the meantime, I still have the problems I originally wrote about.  Can't delete and can't sync

Thank you

I asked what I asked because in your original post you said "I retrieved
archived items".  You couldn't have retrieved them from a .PST file if you
couldn't find the .PST file, and you still haven't told me how you DID
retrieve them.  So I'm still confused  :-)

Anyway, since you're using Windows 2000, the .PST files are likely located
in hidden or system folders, so make sure you enable searching within hidden
and system folders, and/or turn on the option to show these types of folders
in Windows 2000.
