Any way to delete obsolete folder from "Organize" list?

Hello,
[I've done some searching in this ng, and find it hard to believe
this topic hasn't been brought up more often.]
In Outlook 2002: From the Inbox, when you want to organize your
incoming mail, and click on the Organize icon on toolbar > Ways to
Organize Inbox > Move message selected below to [fill in the blank
folder]. If a user has been using the Organize feature for several
years, and has collected a long list of folders in that pull-down
list, there's a good chance that there are some folder-names in that
pull-down list that are no longer valid.
Is there any way to delete those no-longer-wanted folders from that
list in the Organize dialog box?]

TIA for your help.

Hello, Roady!
[I replied to your post hours ago, but I see that my reply didn't
'take'; here goes again:]
Thanks mucho for taking the time to reply! I took the lead from
that link you supplied, backed up the registry parent-key in question,
deleted the key that the article pointed me to, and voila! Went back
to the Organize pull-down list in question and all that remained was
the default "Other Folder" entry. Clear as a fresh install.
Have yourself an excellent day [:-D

It is the "Move to Folder history" entry.
