This article was previously published under Q146436 SYMPTOMS
When you choose the Remove All option while you are running the Microsoft
Exchange client Setup program, the off-line address book (.OAB) files are
not removed.
CAUSE
The .OAB files are stored in the same directory as the off-line store file
for local replication. The default location is the directory of computer's
operating system. This location can be changed by editing the your profile.
Therefor, for the Setup program to remove the .OAB files, it would have to
go through each user's profile looking of the path to the .OAB files.
WORKAROUND
These files can be manually removed by globally searching for *.OAB files
and deleting all instances found.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Exchange
Windows client. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
