Deleting Archive Folders in Oultook 2007

[Guest]

How do I delete an Archive Folder. I have stopped Outlook from Archiving
anything at this time. I did not archive to the file location that I wanted
to and now have 40 or 50 Archive Folders at the bottom of my Outlook Folder
List. I have moved all of the filles from the Archive Folders, deleted all
files in the deleted archives - so now they are all empty. How do I get rid
of the ARCHIVE FOLDERS in my Folder List?

Right-click the root of each store, then choose Close. Also make sure Tools | Options | Other | AutoArchive is set not to show archive folders automatically.
