After using ScanPST I had duplicate folders (which I was able to fix) but
also this weird folder set appeared name 0w#25 that I cannot delete because
it says it has my inbox, contacts and calendars (which is not true). There is
no pst file linked to this folder, it doesn't open or allow me to do
anything. It doesn't appear in Date Files under Options. Reinstalling Outlook
2003 didn't work and help on Microsoft is no help at all! Any suggestions?
(Besides throwing my computer out the window...)
 
Pls confirm the following:

- you had a bad PST on which you've run Scanpst
- afterwards the data you've needed has been recovered succesfully, but
- another set of folders has also been created, with the same data in it

If the above things are the case, then you'd need to create a new pst, make
it to the default delivery location, copy all the data from the old one to
the new one. Afterward you can just throw the old pst away.

Hope this helps,
