How to undo a "scheduled folder"

So, on my phone, I accidentally made one of my folders "scheduled."  Now that folder has a clock next to it's name instead of a folder icon.  I don't know what I did to make that happen.  I don't know what a "scheduled" folder is.  I don't know what benefits I get from having a "scheduled" folder, but I don't want it to be that way.  In fact, I attempted to delete the folder on the outlook.com web app, but the "scheduled" folder continues to appear on my Android Outlook (formerly Acompli) app.  

Can anyone tell me how to undo what I've done?  And can anyone point me to any documentation which would explain what a "scheduled" folder is and why I might want one?

    After some accidental digging around to try and find a solution, I was finally able to delete the "scheduled" folder. The folder used to have my bank name, and emails from my bank were put in there via a rule I created. Deleting the rule didn't help, and I DID NOT have the option to delete the folder like others did UNTIL I did these steps. 

    This HAS to be done from a regular Windows 10 Computer, NOT a phone, chromebook, etc. Get access to one via family or friends if you don't have one, because this requires setting up Outlook from the start menu, and it looks a lot like Word when it comes up. 

    FIRST - click the Windows icon on the bottom left of the screen (AKA the start menu). That will pull up a box with program/app names, square tiles, etc.

    Second - Scroll down through the list of program names until you get to Outlook, and click on it. A blue box will pop up that looks just like the one that pops up when you open Word. It will say "Microsoft Outlook Office 365." (NOTE: I have free Office 365 software from being a student. I DO NOT know if this has any affect on whether the Outlook program appears on all Windows 10 PC's in the start menu, or only people who have 365 installed; I never use 365). 

    THIRD - Set up your outlook account. In my case, I have free hotmail, so that is the email address I used, and also the one with the "Scheduled" folder. It may take a few minutes for all of the emails to appear. 

    FOURTH - Find the Scheduled" folder, right-click, and DELETE!!!

    I verified that this worked by checking my Outlook email via the Chrome browser as I usually do - NO FOLDER!! I also waited to re-install the Outlook app on my Samsung Android phone until all of this had been resolved. The folder was finally gone from there also. PLEASE NOTE: After setting up the Outlook n the PC, I now had new folders showing up in Outlook via Chrome - "RSS Feed" and "Sync Conflicts." I deleted RSS folder but left Sync folder for now. 

    Thank you very much for the steps to get rid of my schedule folder. I appreciate it very much. Thank you so very much

    For some reason I can't see the Scheduled folder on my Desktop only on my app. This might have been caused by a Shortcut using the keyboard. I don't know how to get the folder back on my desktop I'm using the web version.

    One more example of how Microsoft makes using their software a real pain.

    Jessie G, the information you shared I don't have any of it on my Samsung Galaxy Samsung 8+ , i'm trying to remove a schedule folder or delete the folder, even to add one.

    This is the information i am talking about I copied it from your post

    In Outlook on phone, open your inbox and select the settings icon on the top right. Under accounts select your account, if you have multiple accounts.  Select Advanced Settings and you will see Scheduled under system folders. Select Scheduled and choose the new garbage folder and ok.

    Thank You!
