Cannot delete multiple personal folders within Outlook

I needed to synchronise three of my colleagues e-mails with my own in Outlook
so that I could read them all and work on them within Office 2000.

I imported each folder separately.

Now I have four sets of Personal Folders at the top of my Folders list. All
the mails that I needed have been tranferred to my own folder list, or
deleted. The three extra ones contain only Deletd Items and Inbox subfolders,
all of which are empty. All of my data is in my original Personal Folders.

However, I cannot see how to delete these superfluous folders. I am about to
transfer all of my files and settings to a new computer (using F.A.S.T.) and
I don't want to replicate the extra folders on the new system.

Can anyone help me, please? iIwould be very grateful.

Many thanks in advance

This is why you have the problem you do.

You have damaged your mail profile by importing.  Time to create a new one.

Many thanks, Brian. I will follow the instructions carefully and clean up
before I move to the new PC.
