Default 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.

and get

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.

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?
Thanks, *
