How do I remove Outlook Express local storage of folders if any?

I am now completely converted into WLM. In the process of installing WLM, has
it created new local copies of the folders ? If so, how do I remove the old
Outlook express local storage?
Deleting folders is not an option, since it will delete the folders on the
server - which is not what I want. I just want the old OE folder stuff gone.
Thanks

You may need to make hidden and system files visible first.

Outlook Express files (not Live Mail) can be found below.

On my XP Home Edition my old mail/newsgroup files were found in;
My Computer
1) C: Drive
2) Documents and Settings
3) (name of your account)
4) Local Settings
5) Application Data
6) Identities
7) {folder starting and ending with the brackets} if you have more than one
you may need to check all of them.
8) Microsoft
9) Outlook Express

From Outlook Express, Tools, Options, Maintenance, Store Folder. If you
need to find your WLM storage for any reason, Tools, Options, Advanced,
Maintenance, Store Folder.
