Vietnamese file reapears

Hi Chris KINZEL

I understand you’re experiencing an issue where a Vietnamese‑named item (shown as a “file”) keeps reappearing in New Outlook for Windows after you remove it.

Where exactly do you see the Vietnamese item:

• Mail folder/message list, or
• Files/OneDrive area, or
• Inside a specific email message?

I would love to hear from you soon. Have a lovely day !

The behavior matches Outlook items or folders that reappear because they are synced from another source rather than being fully deleted locally.

Try these steps in order:

1. Check if it’s an RSS-related item or folder
   • In Outlook, look in the folder list for an RSS Feeds section.
   • If the Vietnamese item is under an RSS folder, it may be coming from the Windows Common Feed List (CFL).
   • To stop it from reappearing:
     1. Go to File > Options > Advanced.
     2. Under RSS Feeds, clear Synchronize RSS Feeds to the Common Feed List (CFL) in Windows.
     3. Then delete the RSS folder/item again in Outlook.
2. If it’s an RSS Feed that keeps coming back
   • If deleting the feed in Outlook makes it reappear, remove it from both Outlook and Windows:
     1. Turn off CFL sync as above.
     2. Delete the RSS Feed in Outlook (right‑click the feed folder > Delete).
     3. Also delete the same feed in Internet Explorer/Windows Feeds if present.
3. If it’s a normal folder that keeps reappearing
   • This can be caused by the folder still existing on the server (webmail) and being synced back:
     1. Sign in to the account’s webmail (Outlook.com or provider’s web interface).
     2. Delete the Vietnamese folder there.
     3. If it reappears again on the web, delete it once more.
     4. Before it syncs back into Outlook, delete the same folder in Outlook as well. This “double delete” (web then Outlook) has resolved similar issues where a folder in Deleted Items kept returning.

If the item is an attachment rather than a folder, save or rename it as needed, then delete the message containing it; if Outlook is blocking or treating it specially, adjust or remove it at the source (webmail or sending account) so it is not re‑synced.
