MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2008Removing Duplicate Contact Folder
Please would anyone tell me how I can delete a duplicate Outlook 2007 Contacts Folder which is empty? (Unfortunately I checked the wrong duplicates option when importing .pst from CD.) I obviously wish only one Contacts folder which has my addresses in. At the moment, when I wish to send a new message and click the Address Book icon I get a blank search box. Thanks. barry76 You failed to specify from which view you want it removed, and there are many possibilities.

Click on "Tools/Addessbook/Tools/Options". Change the entry of "Show this Adressbook first".

Thanks. > barry76 No. It is not necessary to create a new Outlook profile just to remove an invalid Contact Folder reference in the address book view. It is far from clear that that is even what the OP refers to, but if it is, the invalid reference can simply be removed here: Tools > Account Settings > Address Book Tab > Outlook Address Book > Change... This is one of the settings that is always corrupted when using the import function to transfer Outlook data, but it is one of the easiest to fix. Depending on how much data the OP attempted to import, other settings were likely corrupted as well and many of those will require a new profile to fix.

I understand his information in this way, that he now has 2 "Contact" folder as "Outlook Addressbook" and he wants to select the correct one with his included contact information. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA011127381033.aspx To delete the wrong folder under: > Tools > Account Settings > Address Book Tab > Outlook Address Book > > Change... is a new information for me.
