You'd need to explain how that happened. Delete is only grayed out for the
default Contacts Folder, and there can only be one Contacts Folder.

Under My Contacts, there is: Contacts, Address Book, + 3 other named contact
folders. Yes there is still another Contacts Folder which is empty. How it
got there I do not know.

Use the Folder List view to give us a more accurate depiction of what
Contact Folders really exist in your profile.

Right click and Delete. If Delete is greyed out, you cannot.

Under Folder view we have the following:
Personal Folders
Calendar
Contacts
Address Book
Apple
Avalon
Contacts
NYC-DOE
Victory

(All of the above are populated with different contact entries)

Additional question:
In Folder view after Personal Folders, then Archive Folders, there is
another Personal Folders which replicates the top level personal folders.
Why?


In Contacts View the list is as follows:

MY CONTACTS
Address Book
Contacts
Avalon
NYC-DOE
Victory
Contacts (Empty)
Address Book in Persoanl Folders
Contacts in Personal Folders
Apple in Personal Folders
NYC-DOE inPersonal Folders
Victory in Personal Folders

Well no wonder. What is that second set of Personal Folders doing there? How
did you manage that?
There is more to this story that you're telling us.

Well, I do not know how I did that. Can I safely remove the 2nd set of
personal folders as a start?

Hopefully. It depends on how it got there.If your profile isn't corrupt, you
can just R click and close this second set. See if it contains any
information you want before you do, and make sure you note its name and
location in case you need it back.

Well, I removed the "Victory" folder from the 2nd set of Contacts in the 2nd
set of personal folders and it also took it out of the primary set of
personal folders.

I did not need that set of contacts anylonger.

What to do next. Totally confused.
