I made the tracker display the maximum number of entries per page, then 
clicked "check all", then "mass update" with "delete", and it marked 
them as "deleted"--but they never get deleted.  They are still there, 
but marked "deleted". It sounds like that is the same as what you tried, 
so I don't know why you are getting that error message.

Which tracker category is showing the new spam?
