Remove Ghost Personal Folders

[jeff.potts]

Hello,

I have the following problem, I created a personal folder by opening a
PST folder, then a Tech guy at our firm moved it to my shared drive so
that it would get backed up.

Now when I open up outlook I have two personal folders, with only one
being active. When I try to delete or remove the old one, I get an
error that it cannot find my pst file in its old location.

So I moved the file back and re-launched outlook and it still won't let
me delete it.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Do I need to use VBA?

TIA Jeff

PS can I also get rid of public folders that the company forces me to
open each time I launch Outlook.

The extra folder and Public folder are not goverened by the Services
menu item.

I have encountered this before (or quite often) and have a solution for
this. My method need to change/delete some registry key however.
