Greetings avsc !

Do you mean 2 Contacts folders?  If they are duplicate, right click on one and select Close.

If they are different, drag the content of one to the other to combine the contacts folders.

Best wishes, war1

No there is only one contacts folder in Outlook Personal Folders.  The problem is when I compose an email and click the To button to add receipients. The contact list is empty.  If I go to the upper right corner there is Show Names from the: Contacts.    Now if I use the pull down menu to open the selection list there is another set of Contacts that has content.  So I guess my question would be how do remove the phantom Contacts from the Show Names list or how do I set the correct Contacts list as default.

I ended up deleting all contacts and the outlook address book and re-creating to fix.  Much thanks and points :-)
avsc, glad you got rid of the two set of contacts.  Thanks for the points.
