how do i delete archive folders when the pst file is missing

[duchenej]

We recently updated to a mocrosoft exchange server and several of my pst
files were somehow lost. I am resigned to missing the info but now I have all
the archive folders listed on my navigation pane and no way to delete them.
Any suggestions?

If right-click>Close won't work and File>Data File Management>Remove won't
work, then a new mail profile is in order.

I just want to delete archive files because I have more recent archives. I
deleted but everytime I open Outlook it ask me to save the archive files I
have deleted. Can you help?

If the file is actually gone but the mail profile still references it, then
the only cure is a new profile. See this:
