A while ago, I consolidated multiple personal folders (.pst
) into a single .pat
file in Outlook 2007. This worked without a hitch.
I had 2 old .pst
files, one named personal-2006.pst
. I had an Outlook Mail folder, named Personal-2006
pointing to this .pst
file. While cleaning up, I deleted (shift+delete) this .pst
file. At the time I deleted it, Outlook was not running and the file successfully deleted.
However, the next time I started up Outlook, it still showed the mail folder Personal-2006
. So I thought that maybe I had to close out of that mail folder, which I didn't do before deleting the .pst
file. But when I try to close this mail folder, Outlook gives me an error that the file path to personal-2006.pst
is not valid, so I can't remove the Personal-2006
mail folder from my Outlook folders.
So far, I've tried creating an other .pst
file and renaming it to personal-2006.pst
, but that doesn't work because Outlook says the file is not valid, and I've tried running file recovery software, but none of the file recovery software can find .pst
files in Outlook.
Has anyone been able to resolve a similar issue?
Can't change the default to another file. – IT Vlogs – 2016-11-16T01:57:46.183
Thanks Chris. I am not sure how I missed it. Thanks again. – priyankpatel – 2009-11-05T16:18:22.967
