How to clear all categories in Outlook
How to clear all categories in Outlook
Ok folks this is an easy one, but not so easy to find if you’re out Googling so congrats!!! I was helping a client with a corrupted Outlook database and this took hours to fix! Not just of my time but my Excel experts time. She had to run queries in Access to get it all perfect for us. The issue came to getting the categories perfect in Outlook. And Outlook was showing the old categories. I knew I new this switch fix years ago, not many use this anymore but I know as I’ve been supporting Outlook since the last 90’s!
Go to the run line
type in without quote “Outlook.exe /cleancategories”
That should do it, if you have other issues contact me for help!
