If you have duplicate phantom copies of your pst then likely your OL profile
is corrupt, and removing/installing OL will not help. Create a new profile.

Russ, I still can't get rid of the 3 sets of Personal Folders plus now I
have
a set of "My Folders" with all my emails. I can't close the Personal
Folders
because it says that the "Operation Failed. The Object Could Not Be
Found." I
have my calendar and my contacts. in fact I have contacts listed 4 times
in
the address book, three of which can't be displayed. I don't know enough
about how Outlook works and how things are stored and what controls what
gets
displayed to follow general directions. I'm afraid I need details on how
to
get rid of these. I even tried to uninstall Office and reinstall it, but
they're still there.
