You have to search first the missing pst file.
Open File Explorer.
In the search bar, type:*.pstWait a bit, this might take a few minutes while Windows searches your entire drive.
You’re looking for files like:
Outlook.pstarchive.pstpersonal.pstLet me know if you're able to find it.
Best regards,
Kimberly
