How do I permanently delete multiple calendars, personal folders .

[Guest]

When I transferred Outlook files from my old computer to my new computer I
ended up with multiple folders for Outlook Calendar, Personal folders, Notes
and Contacts. I want to delete the duplicate folders but am unable to. How
do I delete the multiple folders?

My guess is that you overwrote a PST on your new computer with the one from
your old computer. That's guaranteed to corrupt your mail profile. Create
a new one in Control Panel>Mail>Show Profiles>Add. Point it at your
existing PST.

The same thing happened when I moved from my old computer (Dell) to a new
computer (Dell). I notice that the multiple Personal Folders in Outlook Mail
continue match my original Personal Folder. How could this be? I have not
tried to delete the additional two Personal Folders because I fear I will
lose all of my Mail folders.

Is there a solution for this?

Because you copied your PST over the top of an existing PST of the same
name. Guaranteed to corrupt your mail profile. Create a new one.
