Hello paulgconroy and welcome to BC.
Your address book will be a file called Addrbook.wab. Find that and delete it.

Outlook stores information in .pst files. Do a search for .pst and delete the contents of Archive.pst or Backup.pst folders.
Also, you can delete the contents of any Outlook folder by opening the folder in Outlook then Edit | Select All | Delete.
To delete an Outlook Folder: View | Folder List | Click on folder you want to delete | On the File menu, point to Folder, and then click Delete Folder name.
NOTE: You can not delete the eleven default folders.
