Hi,
Is there any way that I can delete the orphaned folders. I accidently delete this folder from the Business Area while my intention was to delete the folder from the EUL instead. Please help.

TQ

Hi Anaid,

Ok, then you can first create a business area to store the orphans temporarily, let's say you name it "Lost and found".
Then go to manage folders and scroll through the folders untill you find one that has no business area in which it is used (the right part of the select screen remains empty). Choose you Lost and found BA and select it. Do this for all folders with no BA.
Then you can easily open the BA Lost and found and delete the folders in there (or move them to another BA).

Regards,
Sabine
