Address Book multiple empty contacts

[liqgranite]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Processor: Intel

Thank You in advance for any assistance with this.
I have attempted to import contacts from a PC office app. (2004) and in doing so approx. 250,000 empty contacts where created. I uninstalled office 2008 to remove them after attempting to delete them but it only seems you have to do them one at a time. Upon opening Entourage- address book after the reinstall it seems as tho they where restored and still in the address book. I uninstalled it again, reintalled Office- updated to the current version and upon opening it again they are still there. grrrrrr What do I need to do to remove them?

Uninstalling does not affect user data (and I see that as a *good*
thing).
The data is stored in ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data. It's in the MS
Office identity there.
If need be, you can decide to trash the entire identity, or in
Entourage, you could simply decide to create a new one.
In any case, make sure you export to an archive anything you'd want to
keep first of course,
