Hi,
I have a large amount of old e-mails stored in about 20 different data files within Outlook 2010. I'm a very heavy user of Outlook and file away well over 100 messages a day. I need to for legal reasons. Most of these data files are well over 1Gb each.
Recently I tried to install a auto-filing application (wolf something or other) and, before I could stop it, it added a additional set of folders into each and every data file. Specifically, it added a Drafts Folder, a Junk E-mail folder, an RSS Feeds folder, a Calendar folder, a Contacts Folder, a Journal Folder, a Notes Folder and a Tasks folder to every one of my 20 data files. As the damn software didn't work, I am still filing manually, but now my life is significantly harder as I have about 20 x 10 = 200 additional, empty, folders to scroll through.
Furthermore, in the Calendar application, I now have 20 calendars to contend with, whereas I need and use only one (in my main mailbox).
And of course, I cannot delete these folders as you cannot delete a Calendar folder, etc. etc. That option is grayed out from the right-click menu.
There must be a way to delete these... please help, its driving me spare.
Yes, I probably could set up 20 new data files and drag everything across, but given the size of everything, that would take me probably a day to sort out.
Any assistance very much appreciated.
Many thanks.
