If you do not want to use an email folder in Microsoft Outlook anymore, you can delete that folder as well as all its contents at once. We will show you how to do that in Outlook’s desktop and web versions, as the mobile version does not allow it.
Note! You can only delete the folders you have created in Outlook. The app does not allow you to remove the default folders, like Inbox, Sent Mail, and so on. Also, if you ever end up removing a folder accidentally, you can restore it from the Deleted Items folder.
This is for devices using Outlook. Screenshots are from Microsoft Outlook for Office 365
Using the Desktop
To delete a folder from the Outlook app on your desktop, first, launch the Outlook app.
Next, from the sidebar on the left, find the folder you would like to delete. Refer to the below image:
Now, right-click that folder and choose the Delete Folder option. See the below image:
Next, select Yes in the prompt that opens. See the following image:
Now, your chosen folder is now removed from Outlook’s main interface.
Later, if you would like to restore a deleted folder, then open the Trash folder and drag and drop your deleted folder out of it.
Using the Web
To remove your email folders from Outlook’s web version, first, launch your preferred web browser and open the Outlook site.
Next, log in to your account if you have not already.
Now, after logging in, from the folder list on the left, find the folder to delete. Refer to the below image:
Next, right-click your folder and choose the Delete folder option. See the below image:
Now, click OK in the prompt. See the following image:
Now, your chosen folder is now removed from Outlook’s main interface.
Later, if you would like to restore a deleted folder, then open the Trash folder and drag and drop your deleted folder out of it.
And that’s all there is to removing unwanted folders from your Outlook app.
