Can't delete contact folders with the delete key or
No, your not stupid. I have found the same problem. The 'Delete' function does not work on some of the personally created contacts folders. I don't know what causes these folders to become 'corrupt'. I found that the 'Remove from My Contact' just removes it from the menu, but doesn't actually delete it. If you do a 'New Folder', you'll see the contacts folders that you though you deleted still present (in the tree), and you won't be able create another with the same name. This may be a bug, but I've not found anaything about this problem elsewhere.

Because even if you delete and get prompted that it will be deleted permanently, it doesn't delete it. Gee I'm so stupid to not realize that a permanent delete isn't! Here's the kicker folks, the delete key doesn't delete them, you have to right click and "Remove from My Contacts" and on top of that, sometimes that doesn't seem to work either, that is, until you close and restart Outlook. Hope this helps someone else. "JohnT" wrote: from the right click menu. I get the prompt asking if I'm sure I want to delete it and I say yes but the contact folder is still there. These were contact folders created in Outlook 2000 and imported into Outlook 2003 with the majority of them empty. Some get deleted but others won't. Does anyone have a workaround?
