I am assuming that you are talking about the "Trash" folder in Evolution.

I have to expunge twice to get my "deleted" to empty as well.

Wait for the first one to finish and then do it again.  Sometimes 
Evolution will expunge the first time, then the next time it will take 
two attempts.

FWIW, I just had to expunge 3 times to empty my "Deleted Items" folder.

Evo 2.8.3-2.fc6
