Ghost Reminders

[Sgte]

Resulting from synchronising Outlook and my mobile phone we have four reminders that pop up when Outlook is started but cn't be opened or completed. Deleting them causes them to go away only to return again when another session of Outlook is started. Can anyone point me in the direction to get rid of them please?

Try this:
- Press the Windows key + R.
- In the box, enter

outlook.exe /cleanreminders

- Press Enter or click OK.

Thanks for that Hans. Unfortunately it didn't work for us. Further suggestions, please?

Try running the Inbox Repair Tool on your .pst file. See Inbox Repair Tool (scanpst.exe) for more info.

Thanks again Hans, I have now tried that and the darn reminders are still there. Next idea please...

You could try MFCMAPI. See Delete reminders that keep returning for a download link and instructions (you can skip the part about /cleanreminders and go straight to the "Use MFCMAPI" section).

Thanks Hans, much appreciated. MFCMAP worked perfectly for me and also exposed a couple of other error entries too.
