    I deleted my passport by accident - thought I was deleting a different one but persistent cookies and IE8 confused things.

    I recreated it, but I don't have access to my Live Mesh folders anymore.  Can this be fixed?

    I was using the RC build of Win7 + IE8.

    How did you "delete" your Passport? If you canceled your LiveID - http://account.live.com - then you no longer have access to your live Desktop or any other services or accounts. If you have a new LiveID, you will have to sign up for these services again.

    You may be able to recover your canceled LiveID if you contact support - https://help.live.com/help.aspx?project=liveidv1&market=en-us

    Ok, filed that request with support.

    In the (likely, I think) event they tell me "sorry", how do I clean up existing Mesh Folders?  Here's what happens if I try to delete folder:



    Could not stop synchronizing folder with one or more devices in your mesh.
    Request to MOE failed with status code:
    401 Not authorized to access specified resource.


    My Mesh folders are still blue - they think they're in a mesh.

    Let's cross that bridge when we get there. I suspect you will need to uninstall Live Mesh and that will revert the folders to normal folders. Once reverted, you can install again and sign in with a new LiveID or the restored LiveID and set up the sync relationships again.
