No one so far has provided steps to repro your claim, including you. Every
instance I've seen where users thought this occurred were simply a matter of
users not knowing where the data file was or how to search for it (PST files
are hidden). Enlighten us with the steps to repro so we can all learn
something new.

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......
