SUMMARY

When you delete a folder, it becomes a subfolder to the Deleted Items folder.

MORE INFORMATION

When you right-click a folder on the Folder List, and then click "Delete '<foldername>'" on the shortcut menu, the items are not sent to the Deleted Items Folder. Rather, the folder being deleted becomes a subfolder to the Deleted Items Folder in the current store. If you right-click the Deleted Items folder and click "Empty Deleted Items Folder" on the shortcut menu, the folder and its contents are permanently deleted.
