"ghost" outlook emails remain in the inbox

Hi all! I use Thunderbird with my company Outlook, and recently I've been having an issue of some emails being deleted, but not moving to the trash. I can still delete other emails, but these eight or nine specifically still show in my inbox. When I try to click on them, the subject and sender in the viewer shows whatever email I was looking at previously, but the message itself is blank. I've tried every way of deleting them, but nothing seems to be working. They don't seem to have anything in common, like having a certain attachment or being from a certain sender. Any help?
