Some posts are too long and boring. This one is too short. We don't know
what you have attempted to do and where you fail. What version of Outlook
are you using? A bit of explanation would greatly help.

That's fine... I'm absolutely sure Outlook does not prohibit Brazilians from
deleting profiles :p

Another way depending on which OS you are using would be to go to Documents
and Settings, User name, Application Data, Microsoft, then delete the
Outlook folder. Again this is a general flow (this more for xp), but it is
similar in Vista. In Vista the folder would be in User - Application Data -
Roaming

Deleting the outlook folders from the hard drive does not delete the
profile, it deletes files used by the profile, including the pst holding the
mail and the nickname cache. The profile is stored in the registry and is
best deleted from the control panel, mail applet.

Hello,

Open registry and migrate to the following key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles

Under this key you will have entries resembling the names of the profile in
Outlook. You can delete it and the profile will be removed.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows

Under this key you will have entries resembling the names of the profile in
Outlook. You can delete it and the profile will be removed.

Why do that when it's easier and safer to use the Mail applet in Control
Panel?

While you can edit the registry to remove it, it is so much safer and easier
for the average user to delete it from Control Panel, Mail.
