Look in Outlook's Help to see if it has the /resetfoldernames command line
switch. If it does, start Outlook with that switch. Click Start>Run and
enter the following in the Command box:

"%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office\Outlook.exe" /resetfoldernames

Include the quotes and spaces. If the path above is not your path to
Outlook, enter the correct path. If Outlook doesn't have the
/resetfoldernames switch, use the /resetfolders switch, which I know it has.
This should either move the folder back to where it belongs or it create a
new Calendar folder, into which you can then drag and drop all the items in
the misplaced Calendar.

Finally, if neither works, you'll need to create a new PST and make it your
delivery location. You can then move all the items in the old PST into the
new one, placing then in the folders where they belong.
