Main identity Question

[Jon Dow]

I was doing a search on my computer for a file and came across some things
from about 3 years ago that I want to get rid of. They were from Outlook
Express and it was in the Main Identity/xyz folder. I looked for that folder
and it does not exist on my hard drive. These files are no longer on my hard
drive but they come up in a search when I run Windows Desktop search but not
when I use the older search companion. These files are not there but I do not
want them to come up in Window desktop search. Any ideas? Can I reindex
desktop search so only active files come up? Do I have to uninstall Outlook
Express to get rid of that or will that not even work?

Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.
