Default Personal Folders

I backed up my Outlook.pst file from my old computer. After installing
Outlook 2003 on my new computer, I renamed the new computer's Outlook.pst
file to XOutlook.pst and copied the old computer's Outlook.pst to the new
computer. I switched back and forth between the two .pst files a couple of
times to make sure I didn't loose new e-mail, etc. and then realized that
every time I had switched, an exact duplicate Personal Folders had been
created. I'm now looking at 4 Personal Folders in the Navigation Panel.
Is there any way to delete these extra Personal Folders? If you right-click
on them, Delete is not an option.
I guess I could always uninstall and reinstall Microsoft Office.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
