It is very easy to accidently delete an entire folder or subfolder. The confirmation dialog box, simply asks if you want to delete the selected file. If you accidently highlighted the wrong folder, it is gone with no retrieval method. This is not hard to do. In any event, does anyone know how to retrive an accidently deleted .pst file? I cannot locate the delelted file in the Recycle bin. Thanks for any help anyone might provide.

The deleted PST file *should* go into your recycle bin unless you hard-deleted it (shift + delete). If you're connected to a business network and your PST is located on a networked drive (like your "home" drive), please contact your Network Admin. If you're on a home PC and hard-deleted your PST, then you would need a third party recovery application such as: http://www.recovermyfiles.com/Recover_deleted_email.html

If you deleted the folder from within Outlook, it should be in OL's Deleted Items folder.

Kathleen - thank you for your response. It is a home PC. It was not a hard delelte. It was a standard delete from my Delelted Items folder. It was probably sometime in the last week. I will check out your recovery application. Thanks again, Tom

Mary - Thank you for your response. It was a delete from within the Deleted Items folder. It more than likely occcurred when I emptied the Deleleted Items folder without noticing that there was a Folder in the Delelted Items folder. I appreciate your assistance. Tom

The only folders that you can't recover is ones you made yourself unless you have a backup pst file that you can open from the file menu. If it was a system folder like Junk Mail, you can reset the folders to the default. In the Windows run box type: Outlook /resetfolders
