How can I undo Calendar filters I created?

[confused]

I was really excited when I went to the slipstick.com site, and found this
suggestion for creating separate personal and business calendars. However I
followed the below directions as best as I could, but now I CAN'T open my
calendar file at all. The error message that comes up is: "Unable to display
the folder. Out of memory or system resources. Close some windows or programs
and try again." I tried again to no avail...any suggestions to get my
calendar back!?!?!?

"There's a simple solution for all versions of Microsoft Outlook, thanks to
Richard S. Champlin:

Add two categories -- Personal and Business work fine -- and apply one or
the other to each of your appointments.
Create two filters for the Calendar folder, one to show only the Personal
category, the other displaying only the Business category. (Or you might set
up the second filter to show everything that isn't the Personal category --
just to make sure you don't miss any uncategorized appointments.) To create a
filter, in Outlook 97, choose View | Filter; in Outlook 98 or Outlook 2000,
View | Current View | Customize Current View | Filter.
Right-click the Calendar icon in the Outlook Bar and choose Open in New
Window. Apply the Personal-only filter to this window.
Right-click the Calendar icon in the Outlook Bar and choose Open in New
Window. (This is the second Calendar window) Apply the other filter to this
window.
You should now have 3 Outlook windows -- one for your Personal calendar, one
for the rest of your appointments and the original window, where you can view
e-mail, Contacts, etc. If you still have all three open when you close
Outlook, the Calendar windows, with their filter settings, should be restored
the next time you run Outlook.

Do you have any other custom views? if not, close outlook and at start menu,
run type
outlook.exe /cleanviews

if you have other custom views, try

outlook.exe /safe

and if you can open the calendar folder - view, current view, define views -
delete or reset the views you created.
