Thunderbird recreating subfolder that I've deleted

more options

Hello, I created a subfolder. Then, I tried moving some e-mails from Inbox to subfolder like usual. HOWEVER, it wasn't working to move them over, so I deleted the subfolder and tried again. PROBLEM: The subfolder won't delete properly!!! Every time I restart Thunderbird, the defective subfolder reappears!!! (It might have something to do with the fact the "title" of the subfolder had foreign language characters. Most of my subfolders have all-English titles and others have foreign language titles, but this new one had both types of characters combined in one title. Maybe that's what set off the problem. Even when I try to change the name to all-English, though, the problem still persists. I would be grateful for any help you can provide. Thanks! Jonathan

what is the folder name exactly?

It was supposed to be, "CHABURA of Rabbi Nivin, שליט"א". When Thunderbird recreates the folder, it adds some numbers and calls it, "CHABURA of Rabbi Nivin, שליט061215e1" Now there's an additional problem: Every so often, Thunderbird is recreating MORE than one of those deleted folders!!! (See image attached.) Thanks!!!
