Is there a way to delete the Personal Address Book or the Private Address Book?

As far as I know, those are system generated and can not be removed. Why do you want to delete them?

You can remove them from the sidebar view Under Options, Address Book Options, Address Books, and (this is not intuitive) adding only the Address Book you want displayed (Contacts) into the "These Address Books will display..." column. My default was that side empty, which was displaying all books.

BTW, do you have 2 unknown addresses in your Personal Address Book? I had the following entries when I first noticed them when I started using the sidebar a month ago. I do not know who these people are and I wonder if they were in the default template used for all users.
