Delete folder without moving to "deleted items" folder

Dear all,

In Outlook I have VBA code which copies the contact folder stored in our

Public Folders to my contact folder as a new subfolder.

E.g. name of the contact folder in the public folders > PContacts

My contact folder will look like this after the copy process:

Mailbox - Simon Minder

Inbox

Calendar

Contacts
> PContacts


> ...

I would like to include code which deletes the PContacts folder without

moving the folder to the "deleted items" folder. In addition, I assume I need

to clear the "Clear Offline Items" first, before I can delete this folder

(folder properties > General tab > Clear Offline Items).

Any thoughts, how I could achive the permanent deletion of PContacts folder

from my contacts, before I copy them from my public contacts again?

Best wishes,

Simon Minder
 
There is no "hard delete" option when deleting something with the Outlook

object model. You would have to use a different, lower level API to bypass

the Deleted Items folder. You can use CDO 1.21 (optional installation or

download), Redemption (www.dimastr.com/redemption) or Extended MAPI (C++ or

Delphi code only) for something like that.
