Hi Diane,

What I did was put the files in the re-cycle bin and so far nothing has gone
wrong. For some reason I can't find a way to view the path to the current
files.

I'd open them in outlook using file, open, outlook data file and verify
the contents are not needed. Only then would I delete it from the hard
drive.

Hi All,

I am using outlook 2003. I updated it from outlook 2000. I noticed on
my hard drive that there are several mailbox.pst files. Are these
leftovers from outlook 2000? Can I delete them if outlook 2003 doesn't
need them? Thanks for any help.

I forget which Windows version you are using - if its vista, the default
path is
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook

on windows xp, its
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook

just replace 'username' with your windows account name. These folders are
hidden in windows but if you use the full path, you should see the contents
easily.

Hi Diane,

thanks, I found the path by going into tools options mail setup. I only
have outlook.pst and related files in that folder. As I said in an erlier
post I put the mailbox files in the re-cycle bin and everything is still
working just fine. thanks again for all your help. It is much appreciated.
