Default Can't delete folder from folder list.

I have several folders in my folder list. When I click on one of the
folders it says "Unable to display the folder". I want to delete the
folder. How can I do that?

The help file says:

Delete a folder
1.. In the Folder List, click the folder you want to delete.
2.. On the File menu, point to Folder, and then click Delete Folder name.


However, when I click on the folder and then the file menu, there is no
Delete.



What am I doing wrong?

Default Can't delete folder from folder list.

In what view and what version of Outlook? What do you see in the context
menu for these folders?

That is the context menu for a data file, not a folder. If you have more
than one data file and cannot close the extras, you have a corrupt profile
from migrating data incorrectly and must create a new one. If you want to
avoid making the same mistake, you will have to tell us how you did this in
the first place.

I have a data file that is on another computer on our network. I have
accessed it in the past. I forget how I did it. I guess I messed
something up.
What would be the correct way to open another data file on the
network?

Thanks,

Huck

There isn't one. Accessing a PST file over a network is not supported and
may be the cause of your problem.
