How to restore a deleted Outlook 2003 contacts folder

[Gdaymate]

I had first-level folders called bkgs_future, 0907, 0908. I deleted the first
one, and for some strange reason the others disappeared as well (althought
they weren't represented as sub-folders).
When I right click on Personal Folders and select properties, then click on
Folders it shows:
Deleted Items\Bkgs_future\0907
Deleted Items\Bkgs_future\0908
But when I click on 'deleted items' it list various folders but not these
ones. How can I retrieve these folders if they aren't visible in 'deleted
items'?
Why did it treat them as sub-folders when it didn't display them as such?

You will need to switch to the Folder List module in the navigation pane in
order to see your contact folders in Deleted Items. The Mail module shows
only mail folders.

The functional modules like Contacts do not display folder structure, only
links to individual folders regardless of where they are in the hierarchy. If
you want to see the folder structure, use the Folder List module.
