Deleting subfolders in Outlook 03

[sfbruc]

Don't know if anyone has run across this or not, but I cannot delete a
subfolder.

In my Outlook 03 heirarchy I have at the top - Outlook Today.
Within that I have a folder called "Orders" which is on the same level as my
"Inbox", "Deleted Items", "Sent Items", etc.
Inside this folder is a folder titled "Completed Orders".
Inside this folder are many folders titled the purchase order number (
19012, 19012, etc.) and nothing is inside them, because I've already archived
all the email and docs.

I can only delete these folders one at a time by right clicking them. I
cannot use the shift command or Ctrl command or click and drag to highlight
multiple folders.
Needless to say this takes a long time to delete all these folders.

Then when I finally do get a folder deleted, the only way to delete it from
the "Deleted Items" folder is to use Alt T, Y, Y. Empty "Deleted Items"
doesn't work for deleting the subfolders.

I have to keep seperate subfolders folders because there are many emails and
docs associated with each PO.

Does anyone know of a snap-in or tool or trick that will delete multiple
subfolders in the Outlook folder heirarchy?

Not perfect but a little help: Select the folder you want to delete and
click shift+delete. That deletes the folder directly without moving it into
the Deleted Items folder.

Thanks for the response. Yes, that works, but still time consuming.
I do appreciate you trying to help. Any other ideas? Maybe we should ask

sfbruc,
If the folder looks something like this:
Inbox
+Completeted Orders
19012
19013
19014
Etc.....
As long as there is nothing you need to save because in the "Completed
Orders" folder and its subfolder, all the messages are archived. Why don't
you just delete the "Completed Order" folder, removing all the sub folders
with it. And creating a new "Completed Order" folder.

After making sure there is nothing that you want to save from "Completed
Order" folder or any of the other subfolders,
Right click "Completed Order" folder> Shift key +Delete. Then create a new
"Completed Order" folder.

Well, now I feel like an idiot. LOL.
Yes, I suppose that would work, wouldn't it?
