A local folder is frozen

I have a local folder (which I created) where I moved spam emails on a daily basis (not all spam emails, just the spam emails in which the sender was trying to scam me). Today it told me that the folder was full and it wouldn't take another piece of mail. After that, I discovered that I couldn't open the folder, or see the contents, or rename it, or delete it. I'm happy to simply delete it, since it only holds spam, but I can't do that.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Never mind. I went into trouble-shooting mode and deleted the folder, and then I recreated it. One of my extension programs may have been interfering.

Thanks anyway.
