Only very old versions of SpamBayes let you set the Deleted Items folder as
the spam folder.  This is not a good idea.  FAQ 3.11 explains why:

Put the spam that you want to train on in a folder that is not in the
Deleted Items folder, and everything should work as you expect.

If you go into the Manager (Filtering tab) and select a folder that is not
the Deleted Items folder, or any folder in the Deleted Items folder as the
spam folder, then everything should work again.  (You can run the Wizard
again if you wish, but it shouldn't be necessary).
