You cannot delete an RSS folder that is subscribed to a subfolder of a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 document library in Outlook 2007

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, you try to delete a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) folder that is subscribed to a subfolder of a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 document library. Then, you close Outlook 2007. When you reopen Outlook 2007, the folder that you tried to delete is still present.

CAUSE

This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
  • The folder that you tried to delete resides in a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 document library that contains approximately 1 million documents.
  • You have subscribed to several folders in that document library.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, delete the document library folder and all its subfolders from Outlook 2007. In Outlook 2007, subscribe to those folders that you want to maintain.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

MORE INFORMATION

  2. Click Remove Offline Copy.

    Note A dialog box appears to inform you that the offline content was cleared.
