Sure - and it should be if you aren't using it.
See http://www.slipstick.com/Tutorials/uninstall/outlook.htm if you need
help doing it.

Yes...

I haven't used it at all.

Does it use lots of disk space?

I have the whole nine yards installed.

I don't see the files for Outlook on my hard drive.

Is it important to remove it for reasons other than just Good
Housekeeping?

It's not terribly large - the biggest reason for removing it is that if its
installed then office updates will install the spam filter updates and that
sets outlook as default. That can be very annoying.

Yes, it is annoying.

But I just set it back to OE -- and now WLM -- after the update.

I must have done it 100 times by now.

Where are the Outlook files located?

I'm using XP Pro.

The data file where all Outlook items are kept is named the .pst file. You
may have several on your machine if you used archive. Look for the files
(hidden files) and delete them with Outlook closed.

Thank you!

Why hide them so thoroughly?

OE is right out in the open -- under Program Files.

So the user can't find them. You have no idea what trouble computer users
can get into if they know things. Better advice is to right click on
Personal Folders, select Properties for "Personal Folders"..., click on
Advanced button, and go to the folder named in Filename.

The data files in OE are kept in the folder named in Tools, Options,
Maintenance, Store Folder. That is different for each user. I do not
remember the default location, but I don't think it is in Program Files.
