Cannot remove a public folder in outlook/exchange2000

[firecomp]

We moved exchange 2000 from one server to another and I can't remove a public folder that is no longer is being used. (I think we didn't move this folder contents and we deleted the old exchange folder)

When you highlight the folder in outlook it displays your standard offline message. This folder does not contain any iformation other than subfolders.

When I attempt to delete it from outlook I recieve a message that I do not have permision even though I took ownership and have admin rights to it.

I believe this is the root of my free/busy data error I keep getting in outlook and its driving my users crazy.

Does anyone know a way to get rid of this folder either from outlook or the information store(exchange)

Thanks in advance

Go on your exchange server and open System Manager. You will see the Folders tab on the bottom, expand it. Now you should see the public folders, here you can highlight the folder and delete it.

Does anyone else have any other ideas on how to remove these folders?

Thanks

Open Administrative Tools -Internet Information Services.
Open the Default Web Site - Open Public - rightclick the folder to delete
