Outlook 2003 delete/remove/close data file, folders, calendars

P

Compared to Outlook 2000, I find Outlook 2003's notion of closing,
deleting, and removing date files, calendars, journals, etc. extremely
byzantine.

In the navigation panel's Folder List, or even navigation panel has
Calendar selected, you can right click a mail folder or calendar, and
Rmove it, Delete it, or simply uncheck it. What in the heavens are
the implications are all of these? What commits deletion of data to
the associated PST file, and when are the open PST files close so that
other users can access them? I'm basically trying to reverse-engineer
the functionality through black-box experimentation, but I can never
seem to get a repeatable results.

Confusing the issue is the fact that one can go to File-
DataFileManagement and close files there. Is there any relation to
the actions above?

Thanks for any clear, simple, direct documentation/specification on
what all this multitude of things mean, and how they relate to the
much simpler notion of closing PST files in Outlook 2000.
