Your deleted items folder is probably corrupt.
Tools>options>maintenance>store folder and note the location.
Close OE.
In Windows Explorer, navigate to the place noted and delete Deleted
Items.dbx
Re-open OE and all should be well.

Note that you may have to enable "show hidden files and folders" under
control panel>folder options>view before you can find and delete the
folder, depending on your operating system.

There is no need to be panic , if your inbox repair tool 2007 is full, and you may not be bale to access out your emails. It mainly happens due to damage and corruption. So first is to locate an PST file and try to repair it. But there are the chances of lost of emails. Better to go for PST file repair tool.
