How do I move a nested sub-folder outwards in the Local Folder Tree?

I made a mistake and drug a folder in the Local Folders Tree, under, thus now nested another in the Main Tree.

Now I can't figure out how to put that folder back "Out" into the normal tree .. I have no 'nested' folders in 'Local Folders' and did NOT intend for this to happen.

thanks

Left click on folder you want to move and hold down to grab folder. Drag to hover over either the mail account name for a top level position or hover over a folder to drop as a subfolder. Release mouse to drop into position.

Wow, quick and thorough response Todd !!

I "drug" said folder up the the "Local Folders" and hovered over those words.; dropped it there and it's now back in the "outer" tree area once again.

thanks so very much
