You must be logged on as a member of the Administrators or the Power Users group to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings might also prevent you from completing this procedure.

Deleting a phone book removes the indexed references. However, released .cab files remain on the Phone Book Administrator (PBA) and Phone Book Service (PBS) file systems. If you want to remove the .cab files, you must manually delete the phone book directory and all its contents. You should delete the directory and files from the PBS server any time you delete a phone book.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
