Deleted the deleted folder in windows mail

I deleted my delete folder in windows mail, (I thought it was an email). Is
there any way to get this back? Could not find folders.dbx file, As Kevin
suggested. I did fine a folder marked app\data would this be the folder?

Re: Deleted the deleted folder in windows mail

It is not possible to delete a system-created folder like Deleted Items,
at least not from the user interface. Have you tried rebooting?
There is no folders.dbx (used with OE only).
On your hard drive, the mail folders reside here:
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local Folders\

Re: Deleted the deleted folder in windows mail

Have you tried rebooting a couple of times? Windows Mail should
automatically regenerate any missing mail folders that were
included in the original set of folders.
