I have several contacts lists, like personal, business, etc. So I made some
subfolders with this lists. I want to delete them but I just can't. I my
navigation pane they are under Contacts but if I try to click on them or just
put the mouse on any of the subfolders nothing happens, actually I can't even
select or click at them. Is like if they don't exist but they are there in my
Contacts. Please help! Thanks
I need to know what you are looking at that makes you think you have
sub-folders.
In the Navigation Pain - that's the left side section of Outlook, select the
Folder List. You will now see all of your Outlook folders in their true
folder tree - the subfolders will show (if you have any). Right click to
delete them.
If you don't see any sub-folders, come back with a good description of what
you are seeing and where you are looking when you see it.
Your version may also be a big help!

Thanks Judy
I have Outlook 2003 SP2
In my navigation pane I have several options to view, so I have Calendar,
Contacts, Mail and Folder list. When I click "Contacts" I got a list of the
"lets call them subfolders" or different contacts lists that I did with
different names, such as businesses, personal, etc. Although I deleted all my
lists and I just left the personal list, all the others are still there, but
just the names when I open the contacts tab. If I got to my folders list they
are not shown there. Wired isn't?
Thnaks for your help

Calling them subfolders doesn't make them subfolders. A subfolder is, by
definition, a folder that has another folder as its parent.

Still where?

Hi Judy, thanks for your respond.
I am usung Outlook 2003 SP2
In my navegation pane, when I hit the contacts tab appear a list of the
different "subfolders"? that I did, for example, I did a contact list of my
business records and I called it businesses. The same I did with my perosnal
contacts that I put my family and friends and I called it personal, and so
on. So I had about sevenb different lists. Although I deleted all of them and
left only one, all they appear under contacts. However, if I go to Folder
List they are not there.
If I try to click in any of them when the contacts list are display, the
cursor doesn't even go, so I do not have any possibility to right click or
nothing, is like if they don't exist but they are there. Wired, isn't it?
Thanks again.

Have you made Views of the Contacts folder?
