I deleted an email account from outlook and everything is gone, Yes that does happen if you don’t backup your data first. If you got a warning message like the one below, more than likely your data is not view-able in windows. You will need to run a recovery program.
Warning about this message, take it seriously!
C
areful, if you remove this account, its offline cached content will be deleted, learn how to make a backup of the offline .ost file
This is a standard message to alert you that you are about to delete all your data saved in your Outlook OST file and to back it up. The problem with this pop up message is that Microsoft doesn’t tell you that “offline cached content” could be many folders, calendar, contacts and other information you have in that OST file. You put data in this OST unknowingly that it could be deleted as fast as hitting “Yes” to continue. After you say “Yes” that file does not go to your deleted items in your computer and it can be expensive to recover, if it can be recovered.
Software Recovery Programs
There are many recovery programs out there on the internet- most run around $49. I downloaded a free version to be sure the OST files showed up and they did. Tip, only search for OST files! (much faster). I paid then for the program and they recovered the OST files quickly. You will need to use another software program to convert the OST file to a PST file so you can add back into Outlook. I have used many OST to PST converter tools, all of them work the same and are priced around $99. You’re looking at about $150 if you want to do the recovery yourself.
