Brian, I believe that the Deleted Messages sit there for about 30 days before Gmail removes them automatically. So, manually removing them through the Mail client probably won't do much for you. If you're willing to give Chrome a try, it works better with the Gmail interface, especially if you use ChromeVox. Although, if you're not familiar with ChromeVox, that will likely just be another frustrating activity for you.
