My It department just changed my email to load up in MS exchange with
corporate . Now, all my original folders are not my default and the settings
for outlook are different. Like now i have two calendars. AAAUUUGHGHGHG

Anyways, my question is , Can I (and how) get rid of the new settings like
the reverting back to my original calendar without affecting the new email
setup?

You can't "revert back" without changing the setup. Prior to using
Exchange, your delivery location was your PST. Now it's Exchange, but
you're still referencing your PST in your mail profile so you see the
Exchange folders and your old ones as well. Your best course of action is
to copy the contents of your old folders to the Exchange mailbox and then
close your old folders (right-click>Close) so they no longer appear in
Outlook.

O.k., how do i find the location of the exchange folder?

I don't understand the question. All the folders in the mailbox or on the
Exchange server as a database and not as files. To copy from your PST to
the Exchange server, if the folder is not one of the default folders (i.e.,
it' one you created yourself), right click that folder and choose Copy.
Specify the mailbox root as the destination. The folder will copy to
Exchange. If it is one of the default folders, open the PST version of it,
select all the data in it with CTRL-A (you may have to switch to a category
view and select one item in the folder first), right-click the selecttion
and choose Copy. Specify the corresponding Exchange folder as the
destination. When you've copied all the folders, you can right-click the
root of the PST in the Folder List and choose Close.
