Hi There Outlook community.

Note sure if this is a "how do you ..." question or a feature request.

I use a comprehensive hierarchical structure for folders within my
outlook.pst datafile.

After autoarchiving large numbers of messages from my outlook.pst to my
archive.pst I am left with a large number of folders (in the outlook PST)
which are now empty. Can anyone suggest how I can identify these empty
folders and (ideally) delete them completely - or can this be set as an
option somewhere in the archive settings?

Thanks

You view your folders in Tree View, then do what you want with those you
created, however if you have rules set that move mail to these folders then
what then?

There is no easy way to identify the empty ones and delete them
automatically. It should be possible with VBA - see outlookcode.com or the
program_vba group on this server if you need assistance writing VBA.

If you aren't into writing VBA, switch to the folder list view (Ctrl+6) and
browse. Rather than hitting Del when you find an empty folder, drag it to
either the Deleted Items folder or into another folder that will be deleted
(whichever is easier) - this will avoid excessive 'are you sure' warnings.
