Default Uninstall/Reinstall JUST Outlook 2007

Is it possible to uninstall/reinstall JUST Outlook 2007 and not the other
Office Programs from the Office 2007 Professional suite?

I had to reformat my hard drive and when I tried to save my Outlook data,
unfortunately, I used "export" instead of the proper way. It worked on my
husband's machine, but I had multiple email profiles whereas he just had the
one. When I tried to get my data back in, it was a mess. Now I don't care
about the old data and just want to start over fresh.

I've been through the Control Panel rigamarole--chosen "change
components"--told it to be "not available"--the reconfigure runs--Outlook
disappears. When I add it back, it's the same mess. My first clue should've
been that no reboot was necessary....

How do I start over fresh with an empty data file?
Will that erase the data in the Contacts folder? (found
under--User/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Outlook)
Also, what is the correct procedure for backing up/restoring Outlook data so
this doesn't happen to me again?

Thank you,

Default Uninstall/Reinstall JUST Outlook 2007

Have you tried a new profile? That is the usual fix for screwed up profiles.

Not sure what that means.....

When I search Help for "profile" the hits are all about email profiles.

Under "File/New" I can create a new Outlook Data File....which says in the
description that it's for creating "additional storage." Is that what you
mean?

Will that create a SECOND .pst, so that I can delete the first?
Thanks,
Karen

I did just create a New .pst that very way. However, it only came with two
default folders: Deleted Items and Search Folders. There's no Inbox,
Drafts, RSS, Sent Items, or Junk Email. Can I/should I drag and drop them
from the old to the new?

THEN can I delete the old .pst folder from App Data?

Also, is copying the .pst to a disk the best way to back up Outlook data?
I will be reinstalling Business Contact Manager once I get this part fixed
and will want to back up that data as well.

....and then when I created a new email profile, it was created in the
original Personal Folder and wouldn't let me move it to the new. Can you see
why I thought a fresh start might be the way to go?

Yes, it will allow you to replace the pst in a profile.
