Hello,

I have the following problem, I created a personal folder by opening a
PST folder, then a Tech guy at our firm moved it to my shared drive so
that it would get backed up.

Now when I open up outlook I have two personal folders, with only one
being active. When I try to delete or remove the old one, I get an
error that it cannot find my pst file in its old location.

So I moved the file back and re-launched outlook and it still won't let
me delete it.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Do I need to use VBA?

TIA Jeff

PS can I also get rid of public folders that the company forces me to
open each time I launch Outlook.

The extra folder and Public folder are not goverened by the Services
menu item.

If File>Data File management won't let you delete it, then you'll have to
create a new mail profile. Moving a file out from under Outlook without its
knowledge corrupts the mail profile.

By the way, PSTs hosted on network drives is not supported and can lead to
PST corruption.
