Once the data file is repaired you may try deleting the folders or emails and verify the results.

Hope it helps. Try the suggestions and let us know the result at your earliest convenience.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I have located Scanpst.exe in the Program Files folder.  However, it is asking me for the file I wish to scan, i.e.:

'In the Enter the name of the file you want to scan box, enter the name of the .pst file you want the tool to check, or clickBrowse to select the file.'

Please can you advise me which file I need to select?

Thanks Brian, that has enabled me to locate the files and undertake the repair process.

Prabhavathi, unfortunately, having run the repair process you suggested, it is still not possible to delete the outlook folders without them reappearing almost straight away.  The deleted folder does go the the 'Deleted' folder, but then a new folder with the same name takes it's place.

Can you suggest anything else please?

Peter

I've managed to solve this now Prabhavathi and Brian.  Thank you both for your help.

The email account is IMAP/SMTP and I've unsubscribed to the folders, which has enabled me to delete them.  To do this, I right-clicked on the folder, went to IMAP and then selected the folders and unsubscribed form them.

Pete
