OK, recently upgraded to Outlook 2013. After a few days I noticed several new 'Data Files', that I don't ever remember being there in my older 2007 version. In checking them out, they are somehow conncected to my work IMAP account, although it's primary Data File is an ".ost" file. There are four (4) of these ".nst" files now, all about 16 GB in size and I see no apparent reason for them, other than taking up valuable hard drive space. I've tried deleting them, but they just come back, again and again and again. Have searched for other methods to eliminate them, but cannot find anything.

Help appreciated.

Why is hard disk space so valuable? It's probably the cheapest part of your computer. Is 16 gig really taxing your system?
