Where are my "New Outlook" Outlook Data Files (.ost equivalent) stored on the Microsoft Cloud?

Question

When I decided to have a look at the "New Outlook," in the setup it seemed to have advised me that my Outlook Data Files would now be stored on the Microsoft Cloud. I assummed that meant my OneDrive account. However, when I had a look (signed in online), there is no evidence of any Outlook files (e.g. .ost, .pst, etc). Are you able to advise where those files are located and if I have full rights to the files for the purposes of deletion?

Kind regards, Tim

Hi @Timothy Davis ,

Welcome to our forum!

Currently, Outlook data file is not supported in the New Outlook. As a workaround, you can switch back to the classic Outlook at any time by clicking the toggle button in the top right corner of the window.

Many features of our current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. With requirements like this increase, the problem may well be released in the future.
