Yes, I cannot CLOSE the Outlook Data file.


I go into Outlook.
I go to "File".

I go to the box that says "Account Settings". In there I select Account Settings.
I now see Email Accounts and a row of tabs for Email, Data Files, RSS Feeds, etc.
In there I select Data Files and have a set of tabs for ADD, SETTINGS, SET AS, DEFAULT, REMOVE....
I can now SEE the "Personal Folders P:\outlook.pst" and "Personal Folders D:/Outlook.pst"


I can SEE d:\Outlook.pst but there is NO data file. I removed it. I can SELECT that file. I can hit the "Remove" button on the screen. When I DO THAT, I get an error that says:
You cannot select this Outlook data file. Configuration information in the file is being copied to your new default data file. You can delete the file after this information is copied.


I then go to the list of personal folders, and and attempt to select D:\Outlook.pst so I can TRY to set that file as the default. It will NOT move. Attempting to change the default to d:\outlook.pst gives the following error:


The default Outlook Data File contains the calendar that appears in the to-Do bar and settings for Favorites, shared folders, and RSS feeds. It does not change where the messages are saved.
Do you want to change the default Outlook Data File? When I say "OK", it says

"the path specified for the file D:\Outlook.pst is not valid"


Then it says "The specified default store cannot be opened. Very you can access your default store and try again".


I don't HAVE the default store any more, though I can make another copy, but all I want to do is get the EMPTY, screwed up data file out of my Outlook folder WITHOUT screwing anything else up...


Do I HAVE to go get a copy of the OLD gigantic data file, put it back on "D", then import EVERYTHING back into it? And THEN how do I get RID of the drive I'm trying to get rid of?
