[dba-Tech] My Outlook is Screwed

I sent a couple of emails with attachments earlier and they bounced. 
Don't know why because I was unable to open them.  They ended up in my
Junk mail folder and every time I clicked on it, Outlook would go into
some kind of endless loop and I had to shut down Outlook through the
task manager.  

I got rid of them by firing up Outlook which opened to a folder other
than the Junk Mail folderright clicking the folder on the left pane and
selecting Delete All.

The latest one to bounce, though, is in the Inbox.  And when Outlook
opens, it opens to the Inbox with this bounced email selected, goes
right into the loop and I can't do anything else with Outlook.  It's
well and truly hung. 

Is there a way to purge an email from the Inbox outside of Outlook?  

TIA
