Hi guys!

Want to delete public folders.. It's not a huge problem that they exist but for "house cleaning purposes" I'd like them gone. The problem is that the users whom which created these folders have been deleted and now Exchange 2K won't let me delete those public folders.. Is it because the user SID's are not there.. is this causing this problem. Is there an alternate way to remove public folders in which the users that own those folders have been deleted??

Thanks for any suggestions..

Why don't you remove the permissions of the deleted accounts and add your account as the Owner for the folders you need to delete. This can be done through System Manager and should allow you to delete them.
 
Thanks, I'll try this and get back to you with the results!
