How to undo a "scheduled folder"

Anonymous

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?

    I founded a solution.

    Settings - general - mobile devices, at this place I deleted all mobile devices including Android because android app made folder "protected" because it was used for scheduling. So now with uninstaled outlook app and device removed, folder is not any more protected and it was deletet with ease....

    On Android built in app and on online outlook falder isnt there any more :) just make shure to outlook android app dont make other folder "protected" (used for scheduling mails). If You use that option again, problem will be there again.

    1. I'm using an Android Phone
    2. With Oxygen OS (Android Nougat)
    3. I'm using the Microsoft Outlook app from the Google play
    4. I don't want using a scheduled folder.

    I see the folder as scheduled file only in android app.
