Our Exchange server went down (EX 2k Standard SP3) due to a hard drive failure on our RAID. Windows never went down but it seems like Exchange was trying to commit a log file to tha database when the disk failed. We recovered the database sucessfully using the eseutil command with diffrent switches according to MS Knowledge website (Q313184). After we mounted the store, everything was ok except that some users have items listed but they cannot access them. For instance: On the folder list, a user show 3 new deleted items in the Deleted items folder(#3 in parenthesis next to Deleted items folder in Bold letters). When the user tries to delete the 3 items, a warning message displays saying that item doesn't exist or it has been deleted already.
Is there a tool or command to clean these items from the Database??

Thank you
S.
