I'm leaving my job want to get rid of all personal stuff on there.

How do i get rid of my id on outlook so they can't see my contacts, notes, etc?

oh and one more thing..i saved some personal emails on my computer through outlook in the 'saved' email file, is there anyway to save this and get it home? Thanks so much!!

I would definitely agree with Tofee Baba, its all backed up, You can try it, but would be good just for your personal pc, no idea you are on a network or have independent system. Suppose, you have a indpendent machine, then you can try following these.

Employees dont have right and permissions in a network enviroment, if wont open, then dont be surprise, because you re resrtricted and sharing a NAT server.

So, lets try, you never know,

Deleting an account ID or info, its best to take from ground root, I mean registry.

Deleting your ID in Outlook Express. First, you need to drill down to this key:

Start->Run->regedt32-> then click,

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{User_ID}\Software\Mi crosoft\Outlook Express\5.0

Here, {User_ID} is a long string of hex digits looking something like this:

{91217320-2072-11DA-B83E-B6FA9E8B723C}

If you re succesful to see this, simple just use your delete button.

If you have more than one Outlook Express identity, you’ll have multiple Outlook
Express-related registry entries to delete, each with a different User_ID.


if still see, there are some leftovers then....


In Windows XP
Important do remove the main Protected Storage System Provider key. This key is not automatically regenerated,
deleting the user subkey may cause you to not be able to retrieve your mail.
So check it, and if you can access, then do it your last day.

Note If you are a Windows XP user, you must have administrator permissions to edit the system registry.

1. Quit all programs.

2. Click Start, click Run, type regedt32 in the Open box, and then click OK.

3. Locate and then click the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider

4. On the Edit menu, click Permissions.

5. Click the registry key for the user who is currently logged on. Then, make sure that the Read and Full Control
permissions are both set to Allow.

6. Click Advanced. Then, verify that the user who is currently logged on is selected, that Full Control is listed
in the Permissions column, and that This Key and Subkeys is listed in the Apply to column.

7. Click to select the Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child
objects check box.

8. Click Apply, and then click Yes when you receive a prompt to continue.

9. Click OK two times.

10. Double-click the Protected Storage System Provider key to expand the key. Click the user subkey folder that is directly underneath the Protected Storage System Provider key, click Delete on the Edit menu, and then click Yes in the warning message dialog box.

The user subkey folder looks similar to the following example:
S-1-5-21-124525095-708259637-1543119021-16701




Well, try it, and get back with your machine info, may help to figure out in other different angles.



Best of luck!

maybe try forwarding the personal emails to your personal email address, that way you wouldn't have to save or create anything... just my 2 cents

To export to a .pst file in Outlook:
1. Go to File
2. Select "Import and Export..."
3. Select "Export to a file"
4. Select "Personal folder file (.pst)
5. Select folder to export from. If you have sub-folders, check the check-box at the bottom.
6. Select the file location and file name. I would recommend copying to C:\outlook\{your_name}.pst.
7. Click on finish.

Go to Windows explorer and copy that file to a flash drive or burn in on a CD. Make sure you delete this folder and empty Recycle Bin.

As far as deleting your mail, all you can do is delete it from Outlook, but companies usually keep backups of corporate mails.
