Cathy, I think you misunderstand how Horcruxes work. When it says that
Voldemort split his soul into seven pieces it means there are six
Horcruxes plus Voldemort himself. When the AK rebound, it's not as if
Voldemort died and one of the Horcruxes spontaneously became a new
soul for him. What happened is that his body died, but the soul within
it remained "alive." The number of Horcruxes did not diminish, they
just served as an ancor for the soul within the body.

The diary and the ring are destroyed, there are four left to find, one
of which is the Slytherin locket for sure.
