Thank you for your request. You can delete a folder from a PST file using Aspose.Email as follows:

// C#
FolderInfo folderInfo = personalStorage.RootFolder.GetSubFolder("folder_name");
personalStorage.RootFolder.DeleteChildItem(folderInfo.EntryId);

API Reference: FolderInfo.DeleteChildItem Method

// Java
FolderInfo folderInfo = personalStorage.getRootFolder().getSubFolder("folder_name");
personalStorage.getRootFolder().deleteChildItem(folderInfo.getEntryId());

API Reference: FolderInfo.deleteChildItem method

@Andrey_Potapov,

After deleting the folder according to your instructions, Microsoft Outlook still shows it when I open the PST file, but now it displays the error screen attached below…

What can I do to solve this?

Thanks
