When trying to delete the duplicated PST file from the profile, a message: "There was an error. Object was not found" appears (
Fig.3)
and the only way to remove it is to create a new Outlook profile. In many cases this is unacceptable due to the settings, that may be lost: email accounts, signatures, user-defined views and forms.

Every time when you delete the duplicated PST file from a profile, the program modifies the system registry. Before
that, it makes a copy of the appropriate system registry branch in a special folder.
Thanks to that the changes can be easily reversed. To open the folder containing the system registry copies click the
Backup button.
To restore the registry to the previous state, run the appropriate REG file in that folder.
