Hi there
I made a silly mistake, deleting a .PST file without closing the folder
first. Now, when I try to close the (unneeded) folder, I get a message
saying: "The operation failed. An object could not be found." I tried
copying a backup copy of the .PST file to the same location, then reopening
Outlook, but to no avail. How can I get rid of this folder? I found an
apparently relevant link on MSDN
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;292022) - but this
relates to Outlook 2000, and the registry entries do not apply (Win XP Pro,
Outlook 2003).
Best regards

As it turns out, it was an archive folder I deleted! (From your link: "If
your ghost is the archive pst in Outlook 2003, it may be harder
[impossible?] to remove...")
Best regards
Loane
