Note in the VBS context then application is replaced by a declaration to outlook for example:<br />
<br />
set olkAPp = createobject(&quot;outlook.appl<wbr />ication&quot;)<br />
olkapp.Session.GetDefaultF<wbr />older(10).<wbr />Folders(&quot;b<wbr />b contacts&quot;).delete<br />

<br />
<br />
Set olkapp = CreateObject(&quot;outlook.appl<wbr />ication&quot;)<br />
olkapp.Session.GetDefaultF<wbr />older(10).<wbr />parent.Fol<wbr />ders(&quot;bb contacts&quot;).Delete<br />

Hi Chris,<br />
<br />
that is great you were right sorry for my mistake in missing the s off the end of the sub container.<br />
<br />
the next thing i have noticed is that it will put it into the deleted items. is it possible to permanently delete it? it may need to be deleted in the same way but then instead under the &quot;Deleted Items&quot; container...<br />
thanks,<br />
<br />

Script to delete outlook contacts container

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

VB Script

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.

Shell Scripting

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
