Alan_Brown posted the link with a solution that worked great

You are absolutely correct. And it worked just fine. The key was to use the actual delete key on the keyboard. I had tried every other way to delete, but using the actual key was the trick.

Sorry I did not post an update here at the time.

Another option is to create a new folder, move the "unread" message to the new folder and then delete the new folder.
