Migration of OE 2k to Outlook 2k ... it's dumb, but I need some help

[Jerry]

From OE 2k to Outlook 2k: Everything went fine except: how do I clean up the left over data base? I thought that deleting everything in the Delete folder really got rid of everything, permanently. Not so, I have a huge amount of deleted stuff that I want to get rid of, permanently. It's taking up valuable spece ... HELP, please somebody!

Look for and delete DBX files in this directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR USER NAME>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\<SOME LONG NASTY IDENTITY GUID>\Microsoft\Outlook Express

Things like Inbox.DBX, Outbox.DBX, etc.

Leave DBX files for newsgroups & such since you'll still need those if you
use newsgroups
