They should all still be in your Deleted Items folder if you haven't emptied it. Switch to the Folder List navigation pane and take a look.

I had tried to set up some Outlook contact folders in a hierarchy... ie WORK,
with other folders under that that had company names, another for vendor
contacts, etc.

When I created the new folders, they appeared in the contacts folder pane as
seperate folders and did not look like they were sub folders... anyway, I
deleted one of the higher level contact folders thinking it was empty but it
also deleted the sub folders at the same time.

can I undelete the contact folders I did not want deleted?

thanx
