Create Outlook Profile "The profile name you entered already exists"


Problem:
When create a Outlook profile and the profile name has been used and deleted before, you are getting "The profile name you entered already exists"


Test Environment:
Windows 7 and Outlook 2010



Solution:

1. First thing to try is to close Outlook completely and go to Control Panel and create a new profile from Mail(32Bit). If still same problem, please go to step 2


2. Open your Windows registry (Start -> Search... > regedit)


3. Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook


4. Under Outlook, there are subdirectories and each one was the profile you created before. Delete them by right click and delete
