Thanks for replying. I figured out the problem... Basically, I had restored the database through a backup file after I reformatted. I accidentally restored security options with it, so windows locked me out of the folder. By deleting my user account and recreating, it removed the folder, so I'm good to go.
Love the filter, by the way. It'd be nice, though, if there was an option where you could put words manually in the filter that AUTOMATICALLY make an email marked as spam. For instance, I'd be able to enter 'vicoden' and any email with that word gets marked as spam. It never comes up in personal emails, only spam. Or at least weight the spam probability priority.

What happens if you try? What is the exact error message that you receive? SpamBayes does nothing to lock this folder in any way - the only way that SpamBayes would be preventing deletion would be if it was still using files in the folder (and if Outlook is completely shut down, then that will not be the case). > Every time I boot outlook, it asks me for settings again, because > it cannot write the settings to the folder. This sounds like a Windows problem. Are you logged in as 'Dylan' and not someone else? Do you have appropriate Windows permissions? > How can I either remove this folder so it will work again, If Outlook is shut down completely, then SpamBayes isn't stopping you, so you'll have to figure out how to get the necessary Windows permissions to do so. > or make it use an alternate application data folder?
