I have too many old addresses in address book. How can I delete old ones?? Have R clicked and selected delete but address comes right back next time I open the address book.

You're doing the right thing, but an address book that refuses to change indicates data file corruption.

Export the affected address book to an LDIF file. Delete the broken address book Re-import the LDIF to re-create the address book.

Two address books are built in and can't be deleted from inside Thunderbird. So you need to close Thunderbird, locate its profile, and delete the data file.
