Default I can not delete a duplicate personal folders list

Vall...

amazing that there isn't an easy fix for this. The instructions provided
simply don't work ( tools-email accounts-view change email accounts-deliver
to new account-finish-close outlook and reopen ), and none of the other
offered explanations have worked either. As this is such a common problem;
why hasn't microsoft provided a very EASY fix? I am more confused ( and
frightened ) and don't want to make the problem worse!

Your profile is corrupt, probably based on an incorrect migration of your
..pst file.

Create a new mail profile and configure it to use your existing .pst file.

Not sure who Vall is - you've posted this as a new message, not a reply.

If you have a ghost PST showing up, your profile is corrupt. Create a new
mail profile in control panel | mail. Don't copy the existing one...

Thanks... I tried that but obviously I'm doing something wrong as it didn't
work. I will try again, thanks

Sorry ( Vall is a typo ). I am brand new to this... Is there a simple set of
instructions somewhere that I can follow steo by step? I know this is simple
to you folks, but I am finding it very difficult.

Hello again Diane...

Well, I followed the instructions exactly, and it created a new profile, but
when I went to my pst files ( as per instructions, it created a second set of
files again. My new profile has no emails in it, and the second set has
everything... Nuts!
