Can't delete Outlook 2002 restored data files

D

Don

My Windows XP Pro system crashed due to a hardware
failure, and I had to restore my data once I reloaded a
clean copy of Windows XP. I restored my Outlook data (PST
files) to my D: drive thinking that I didn't want to
overlay the current PST file, and would just import the
data for it afterwards. I have managed to copy the data
into my current Outlook PST file, but now I can't delete
the folder structure that was created by my restore
operation (i.e., "Documents and Settings" folder on D:
drive) with all of its subfolders.

I receive the error, "Cannot delete Outlook: Access is
denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected
and that the file is not currently in use." when trying
to delete any of the parent folders for the Outlook.pst
file, and I don't have Outlook open when trying this.

Anyone know how I can delete these folders and Outlook
data?

Thank you.
