How to fix Outlook OST files

| May 27, 2017 | 0 Comments

How to fix Outlook OST files. Unfortunately, fixing OST files is not the same as repairing a PST file. OST files are only created once and cannot be repaired (not that I know of anyway!). If Outlook is not opening and you need the data, the OST needs to be converted to a PST file and then reopened in Outlook as a PST. Data can then be added to the new OST file.

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.
