As shown in the attached screen capture, recently these subfolders of "sent" have appeared to the left of the folder. They make the folders undeleteable. How do I get rid of them? I want to delete "sent" and create a fresh new "sent" folder.

Thanks John

We can close this one out. it was a bug in Thunderbird. Yesterday I forced the upgrade of Ubuntu Mate 22.04 LTS. Thunderbird in this release read the old and new "Sent" files just fine.

Again, thanks every one, especially Toad-Hall for pitching in and trying to help me solve this problem. I can't thank you enough.
