Outlook 2007 - Cannot Delete Items - Cannot Expand Folders

Hello All,

I am connected to an exchange server at work, but I accidentally dragged a parent folder into a child folder (and yes, it let me). Even though I hit cancel very quickly it nested thousands upon thousands of folders into each other.

The problem I have is that the hard limit for items in outlook is 4000 at a time, and this is WAAAAAAAAAAAY over 4000, and when I drill all the way down until the point I get an error "cannot expand the folder. your server administrator has limited" and I still cannot delete anything.

My IT Team in charge of Exchange seems to have no ideas and I cannot run in cached mode nor does webmail work, and my blackberry is also unable to file or reconcile e-mails.

Any ideas as to how I can fix this?

Thanks,

Michael
 
sorry, forgot to add, I learned we run Exchange 2010.
