An Exchange Server user can delete a public folder and the subfolders if the user has Owner permissions to access the public folder

SYMPTOMS
If a Microsoft Exchange Server user has Owner permissions to access a public folder, the user can delete the public folder and the subfolders. The user can do this even if one of the following conditions is true:
| • | The user does not have permissions to subfolders of that public folder. |
| • | The user has permissions other than the Owner permissions that let the user access the subfolders, such as Reviewer or Contributor permissions. However, the user does not have permissions to delete the subfolders. |

WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, do not grant the user Owner permissions.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION
If a user has Owner permissions to a public folder, the user effectively owns that whole public folder. This is true even when the user does not have permissions to view or to edit the subfolders.
