Resolved Outlook Data file Folder- how do I hide it?

I did a clean install of Windows 10 and had to reinstall Outlook Home 2010.
I have this folder called Outlook Data File listed above my list of folders such as inbox etc.

Can I hide it somehow or simply delete it?

 

Hi Alicia J, I can't answer your question as I don't run Outlook 2010, but hopefully you'll get help from someone eventually. Neil.

Is this what you were looking for? "Open, change, or close Outlook data files "

The default email address is listed as mine under change existing accounts. The Outlook Data folder isn't even listed there?? It just show up in the navigation pane. I don't have this file in my other PC with Outlook 2010

 

The only way I see to 'delete' it is to reinstall Outlook. I don't really want to do that so I'll just minimize the folders under it and leave it alone. Thanks.

Retiredlearner thanks for the link. The option to right click and 'close' the file is greyed out.

 

Is this any use: "Update, repair, or uninstall Office 2010 Click-to-Run products "
