Default an identity has a virus - can I delete it the folder?

I have found a virus on my system. It is in one of the identity folders
located
C:\Documents and Settings\homer\Application
Data\Identities\{8F1A6740-540C-11D4-9A6C-8CD4A03E625B}\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\Sent Items.dbx=(message 51).

When I go to Tools Options Maintenance and click on Store Folder it is
not the identity that comes up. I use only one identity in OE.

When I go to C:\Documents and Settings\homer\Application Data\Identities
there are 11 different folders. I have backed up the folder that comes up in
the Store folder box.

Can I just delete these others?

1. Once you've identified your identity in C:\Documents and
Settings\homer\Application Data\Identities (and I suggest you write down the
address), yes, you may Delete the others.

2. Now see http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/faqs/how.htm#delnopass. Ignore
the title and Delete the Registry keys for all but *your* identity.
