Default How can I restore a deleted distribution list to my contacts?

So where is the Outlook Deleted Folders? I don't see my deleted list in what
I think is this folder.

I accidentally deleted a long DL from my contacts. (I was trying to
delete a single name, and hit the big X in the toolbar, which seemed
the intuitive thing to do. I guess not everybody's intuition works
the same.) It is not in the recycle bin. Does it still exist
somewhere where I can retrieve it, or is it gone for good (or, in
this case, for bad)?


I just tried it. Naturally, since the Recycle Bin is a Windows File System
entity, Outlook items will not show up there, but they do show up in
Outlook's Deleted items folder.

Read what I wrote again. It's called "Deleted Items" and it's one of the
standard folders. Every Outlook data store contains one. It should be
right there in your folder list between Contacts and Drafts.

Once you remove it from your Deleted Items Folder, it is gone for good and
cannot be retrieved. People are forever losing their DL's because the DL
interface is so poorly designed. The "Delete" icon deletes the entire DL
when most rational users are expecting it just to remove the selected
member. DL's were not really intended for use by rational human users.

Drag it back to your Contacts folder.
