        Hi,
what is your Evolution version? There were some fixes to allow delete
address books even the backend claims it failed. It should be in 2.28
for sure. Nonetheless, if you've that or newer version, then disable
your exchange account, close evolution, run 'evolution --force-shutdown'
and then open /apps/evolution/addressbook/sources in GConf editor, and
delete all the remaining groups which you do not like. Those system will
be recreated next start, thus no worry. Only make sure you'll not delete
the "On This Computer". Of course, making backup of that GConf key
before playing with it is a good thing to do.
        Hope that helps,
        Milan
