Before you say "not even possible" you have to know the details in which it
happened. It HAS happened to me before, unfortunately. I agree that it
shouldn't but it did nevertheless. Does this mean that the particular
machine had a problem which, when Outlook was removed, also happened to
cause the PSTs to be gone? Well the machines it happened on were all working
badly at the time for various reasons. I had just walked in to a new client
and they had no idea about security, no firewall, no up to date and working
antivirus, no anti spyware. So, sure, with all the other crap I had to
contend with and get rid of before attending to that, yes it could have been
caused by those machines being so invaded in the end.

However, to say something isn't possible assumes you know every little thing
about that machine. With Windows machines I have found that the moment I
think it isn't possible to do something with one, that thing happens. I am
still completely in the dark as to why a Vista Business machine, when you go
to Control Panel, rearranges all the Views in anything else you open up but
a Vista Ultimate 64 bit on the same network actually works normally in the
same situation. I would have said, when I looked up on Google, any answer
for this problem and finding many people complaining about it, that it
happens to all Vistas but clearly it doesn't.

Not possible. In no version of Outlook has uninstalling ever removed any
data. Even the profile and all its settings remain.

Sorry I may be wrong there. I have uninstalled and had the PSTs go on
machines before but I honestly cant remember which versions of Outlook
they were excepting my own machine that had Outlook 2002 on it once.

It SHOULD delete the pst

Uninstalling Outlook does NOT delete any data files......
