Can't delete address books

Bonetree, I am setting up PM 4.7 as a first time user and experienced a similar problem: I went through the proper steps to delete an address book, but it was not deleted. My solution was exit PM, then delete the associated address book files (.PMR and .PM!) from my user directory. When I reopened PM, that address book was gone.

I have an odd problem - at least I can't find reference to it in the forums. I have several address books I'm trying to delete and they won't go. I click on delete address book, check the box that I'm sure, and click okay. The entries disappear, the address books remain, and when I click on the address book again the entries are back. I also can't rename them - that is, I can, but the new name is gone and the old one restored when I reopen Pegasus.  

 I've been using Pegasus for over 15 years and haven't come across this one yet. Any help very much appreciated.

I should add I'm using the 4.7 release. Hadn't occurred to me it could be the source of the problem. But is no one else having the issue? (Being unable to delete address books.)

 Thanks.

Thanks, Michael. I had seen that thread but didn't think it was the same problem. But of course my undying address books are probably rooted in the same issue.

 Thank you for the response.
