Was the folder called Spam? Outlook's is Junk email, one called spam
would be created by 3rd party antispam software.

Press Ctrl+6 to view the folder list - do you see the missing folder.
Expand the Deleted items folder to look for it.

If you can't find it, clsoe outlook and restart it using the
/resetfolders switch.
