Well, you can't delete it from the Data files tab and the OP didn't say he
went into Windows Explorer... so even though he used the wrong terminology,
it shouldn't cause anyone reading it to delete the pst from the hard drive.

Actually, removing the data file is safer - its not deleted from the

one you are using and if you do something stupid like empty deleted

In many cases, the only way to fix it is by editing the message store -
see http://www.slipstick.com/calendar/cleanreminder.asp for instructions.

I agree with you Diane, but here the word "Delete" was used instead of
remove, which can unfortunately lead someone to delete the actual PST.

Unlinking a PST from a profile is harmless, of course.

Just a minor clarification so we can save someone from making that
mistake.
