I just realized the entries in address book all have email addresses. the
entries in contacts folder don't all have email addresses. Why wont the
address book show them?

The Outlook Address Book is just a viewer for the electronic addresses in your contacts folders. If you are seeing different entries in the address book, compared with what you have in contacts, please explain in detail what differences you are seeing.

BTW, "folder hierarchy" refers to the tree of folders, as listed in the Folder List navigation pane in Outlook.

I don't know how to answer that. How do i determine "Folder hierarchy"
Address book shows names from contacts. if i delete a name from the address
book it also is removed from contacts. How do i delete every thing from
address book and use only contacts for names and addresses?

You tell us because it's not possible. This is most likely end user error.
The Outlook Address Book contains no data. It only displays what resides in
Contact Folders.
I must assume you have more than one Contacts Folder and are displaying a
different one in the address book view than the one you are seeing in the
Contacts view.
Provide the details of your Folder hierarchy and how you configured the
Outlook Address Book.
