MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / October 2004Remove Empty Folders in My Contacts
In My Contacts there are several folders which are now empty. How can I permanently remove them?

Delete is only grayed out for the default Contacts Folder, and there can only be one Contacts Folder.

Under My Contacts, there is: Contacts, Address Book, + 3 other named contact folders. Yes there is still another Contacts Folder which is empty. How it got there I do not know. > You'd need to explain how that happened. Delete is only grayed out for the > default Contacts Folder, and there can only be one Contacts Folder.

Under Folder view we have the following: Personal Folders Calendar Contacts Address Book Apple Avalon Contacts NYC-DOE Victory (All of the above are populated with different contact entries) Additional question: In Folder view after Personal Folders, then Archive Folders, there is another Personal Folders which replicates the top level personal folders. Why? In Contacts View the list is as follows: MY CONTACTS Address Book Contacts Avalon NYC-DOE Victory Contacts (Empty) Address Book in Persoanl Folders Contacts in Personal Folders Apple in Personal Folders NYC-DOE inPersonal Folders Victory in Personal Folders Contacts in Personal Folders (Empty) > >> You'd need to explain how that happened.

How did you manage that? There is more to this story that you're telling us. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Under Folder view we have the following: > Personal Folders [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] >> >> >> > I >> >> >> > permanently remove them? Well, I do not know how I did that. Can I safely remove the 2nd set of personal folders as a start? > Well no wonder. What is that second set of Personal Folders doing there?

It depends on how it got there.If your profile isn't corrupt, you can just R click and close this second set. See if it contains any information you want before you do, and make sure you note its name and location in case you need it back.

Well, I removed the "Victory" folder from the 2nd set of Contacts in the 2nd set of personal folders and it also took it out of the primary set of personal folders. I did not need that set of contacts anylonger. What to do next. Totally confused. > Hopefully.
