pst file madness

Running Outlook 2003, migrating from Outlook XP, and before that, Outlook
2000, my pst files are in the dozens.

Mine are located in Doc/Settings/User/Local/AppData/Micr/Outlook. I have my
Backup pst files located in a separate directory in Windows.

My question is this: how does one identify pst files that are currently
being used? Or ones that are needed as opposed to pst files that can be
safely deleted? For example, where mine are stored, I have no less than 30
separate pst files. Part of the problem is that I use Outlook to retrieve
about 10 different pop and http accounts, in 3 separate profiles.

Is anyone aware of a method of organizing and/or cleaning up pst files,
especially ones that end with descriptive names like 00000008.pst?

Any suggestions for this mess? Thanks.

Hi "news"
I guess the most simple answer would be to give the PST
files a sensible name when you create them, also, when
adding them into the folder list give them a better name
than "personal folders", simple administration really
