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?

    Is there a working solution?

    Doesnt seem to be... after all this time.

    I got this problem today on January 22.

    One of my self created subfolder now has a clock sign next to it in outlook.com (web version)

    That self created subfolder was created like 3 years ago and had a few e-mail inside it.

    I dont know how this folder became/transformed into THE SCHEDULED FOLDER....

    In outlook.com (webversion) when I right click that folder (the folder that has the clock sign next to it, lets call it AMOMA) I dont have the option to delete it or to rename it... Those option are greyed out.  Compared to all my other self created folders I can all delete or rename them.

    I tried some solution I read on this forum but none worked.  I tried deleting all my assigned mobile accounts and that did not work.  Also from the outlook android app I tried renaming or deleting that AMOMA folder and it does not let me do it.

    I then tried with Outlook 2013 desktop program installed in my windows 10 pc.

    I configured my hotmail account in outlook 2013 and got all my e-mail synched.

    Then from the Outlook 2013 interface I HAD the option to delete or even rename that AMOMA sub folder. 

    Of course before doing that I moved the couple of e-mail that were in my AMOMA folder to another folder I created manually.

    I then deleted the AMOMA folder (the scheduled folder).  The folder disappeared in the outlook 2013 interface and was moved to the deleted items folder.  

    A couple of minutes later, the AMOMA folder came back to it's original location.  So I can not delete that folder.  When I do, it just reappears by itself...

    The only temporary solution I found was to rename that folder.  And the only way to do it was to again use outlook 2013 interface.  I renamed my AMOMA folder to SCHEDULE.

    I logged moments later in outlook.com (web version) and the rename of the folder was reflected there as well...

    I then manually re-created a AMOMA folder and moved my e-mails back there.

    So the problem is still there but at least I was able to change the name of that schedule folder and the only way was to use a Outlook windows program. (2013-2016-2019 versions)

    Hi, 

    To solve that, i'm using the outlook Windows app (with Windows 10 version and app include in office 2016 pack). 

    Just delete the folder witch you want. 

    Regards,

    The Android version of Outlook imports its settings, folders, etc., from the common PC version of Outlook.

    I was able to edit the folders in Outlook for Android by editing Outlook on my desktop PC.  :)

    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.
