You will need to get a utility called MDB viewer. Once you get this, this viewer will allow you to pick the calendar out of your PST file in your personal folders.

1. Start MDB viewer.

2. Select MAPI_NEW_SESSION, click OK.

3. Select the Profile name you use if the interface appears.

4. In the MDB Viewer Test Application, select OpenMessageStore from MDB menu.

5. Select Personal Folders and click Open.

6. Click Open Root Folders from the MDB menu.

7. Double click Top of Personal Folders.

8. Double click Calendar folder to bring up MAPI_FOLDER ? Calendar window.

9. In Options available list box, select lpFld->EmptyFolder() function and click Call Function to run it, this will delete all the items in the calendar folder.

10. Close the MAPI_FOLDER ? Calendar window, in the MAPI_FOLDER ? Top of Personal Folder window, click the calendar folder and select lpFld->DeleteFolder() in the Options available list box, click Call Function to run it, this will delete the calendar folder.

11. Close MDB Viewer.
