Default How do I delete a personal folder file that I created by mistake?

I some how created this folder in Outlook that I then exported into a .pst
file. I want to delete the entire thing (both the folder and the .pst file).
However, when I go to delete the .pst file, it says I can't because there's a
sharing violation. So, this makes me think that I need to delete the folder
first, but when I right-click I don't get the option to delete. How can I
just delete both parts (in other words break the link so I can delete the
entire thing)?

When you right click on the folder, there should be a "close" option.
Close the folder there and won't appear anymore in outlook. You
should then be able to go out and delete the .pst file.


Only after you close Outlook, though.
