Getting mailbox full message but can't delete messages as I get an error saying it can't do it because the mailbox is full. Going around in circles!

I'm getting emails sent that are bouncing with a message that my mailbox is full. Trying to delete message but then getting a message that I cant complete the action because the mailbox is full

Am I missing something?

Chosen solution

hold shift while you delete. That immediately deletes instead of copying to the trash. That might bypass the circle.
