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.

Exchange OST Recovery
Exchange OST Recovery can be a complicated process if you don’t know what you’re doing. I assume if you’re reading this, you had an OST with your Exchange account in Outlook that was deleted and had more data in it than your Exchange server had. If you deleted that Exchange account from Outlook, more than likely your OST file deleted itself.

I deleted an email account from outlook and everything is gone
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.
