Duplicate Contacts mess

The pc has Office/Outlook 2003 with one user. It was originally configured,
for some reason to do with importing, with several data files. To simplify I
moved all the messages within Outlook then hid the extra data files in Data
File Management. The problem is that there are two Contacts lists. I have it
so that one pops up when the Address Book icon is pressed but when I do
Rt-Clk Add to Contacts it gets added to the other one, which I assume is
part of one of the other .pst files. When I look at the dialogue that is
supposed to display a list of Contact folders none is displayed. To further
complicate matters I managed to rename the "wrong" Contacts to Contacts2 and
now it doesn't appear in the Address Book dropdown any more but it still
appears as default in the Navigation Pane. I am not worried that much about
preserving the contents, I just want a single Contacts list. I kind of thing
that the "wrong" one is actually the right one, and, well I am confused now
and need a clear head to suggest a straight path to righting this ship.

Why don't you just remove the invalid entry from the list the address book
displays? Seems simple enough.

How Russ? I'm not in front of the machine right now and I run O2007 so I
can't check, but I don't recall an option to remove in that dialogue. The
only option there is to remove individual contacts.
