How to fix Outlook OST files
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.

Can you compact an OST file outlook 2013?
Question: Can you compact an OST file outlook 2013? In all my years of doing Outlook support there are two things I almost never do….compact an OST or PST file and reinstall Outlook when there are first level problems. To answer the question, maybe…but there is no point as you can’t import it into Outlook. In fact, there is very little you can do with an OST file and if you compact it, you might corrupt it.
