Yes toolbars are persistent unless you set them to temporary. So test to see if there first and then remove it or reuse it !

 try
    {
        commandBar = Application.CommandBars["mytoolbar"];
    }
    catch (ArgumentException e)
    {

    }

    if (commandBar == null)
    {
        commandBar = Application.CommandBars.Add("mytoolbar ", 1, missing, true);
    }
