Hi very new to Thunderbird, and I'm having a nightmare getting discarded folders and sub-folders to empty from the Local Folders - Trash folder. I have already tried every solution I have found online, including:

The obvious- right-clicking on each folder and sub-folder in the Trash folder, and selecting delete. After of the confirmation of the choice, nothing happens.

Deleting the trash and trash.msf files in the Mail - Local Folders directory (when TBird is closed) and restarting.

Deleting the foldertree.json and trash.sbd files and restarting.

Deleting the global-messages-db.sqlite file to rebuild the golbal database and retrying everything above.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Trash.sdb is the folder that will hold the sub folders in the operating system.
