Cannot Close/Remove PST File

I am using Outlook 2003 with Exchange 2003. I now have a PST file attached to
my profile that I cannot close. The weird thing is that it doesn't even have
a name next to it. It just shows the + sign for expanding folders and the
folder icon. If I right-click on the icon, it gives me the option to Close
"<0w#25>", but when I try that it states "You cannot close the mailbox that
contains your calendar, contacts, and inbox."

I do not have the option of creating a new profile. Any ideas of how I get
rid of this ghost PST file?

Thanks,
Merg

Click Tools>E-mail Accounts>Next. What's in the "Deleiver new e-mail to the
following location" drop-down at the bottom left?

Easily fixed with a new mail profile.

As I stated, I don't have the option of creating a new profile. Is there any
other way to get rid of this ghost PST file?

Thanks,

As for the Deliver New Email property, it correctly lists my Exchange server
mailbox.
