Hi I was having problems with outlook, so did a detect and repair. Ended up
moving my outlook file and now an empty outlook folder outlook1.

I can not work out how to delete the new folder and return my old folder to
its rightful place.

Thanks Tim

If I understand your problem, reboot and delete (or move) the unwanted file.
Then start Outlook and when it give you an error message that it can not
find your file browse to the file you want to use.

Hi Tim

your Outlook version is?

In Outlook 2002-2007 under "File/Datafilemanagement" you can delete the PST
file which is NOT your default folder.

On this site you will get some additional information for "How to manage PST
files in Outlook 2002 / 2003":

Maybe it helps.

Hi Tim,

a.) did you select the "Folderlist"? (Outlook Menu: Goto/Folderlist)

What do you see know?

One "Personal Folder" or more?

If you see one "Personal Folder" do you see know the "Calendar" and
"Contact" Folder?

If yes: Are they empty or with your items?

Please, give me some more details what you see.

Sounds like you created a new mail profile or PST during ther detect and
repair. The old PST should still be available. Add it to your mail
profile. See if this helps:

you can also rename the files - so rename your new outlook.pst file to
something totally different, then rename outlook1.pst to outlook.pst

You can, but you shouldn't. Renaming a PST file will deeply confuse Outlook
and corrupt the profile.
