Thanks Milan

I'm running 2.28.3

There was no sources file but I did find a %gconf.xml

.gconf/apps/evolution/addressbook/
completion/ display/    %gconf.xml

I've removed everything that I could find with exchange or "company"
in the .gconf directory and yet the address books remain (I think the
big deal is they are prompting for a password and it won't accept any
password that is known to me, so it won't allow me to delete?).

But I couldn't find a sources file/directory

Thanks for the response!
