    Hi! Cassandra. Yes, I'm here to help.

    You have to search first the missing pst file.

    Open File Explorer.

    In the search bar, type:

    *.pst

    Wait a bit, this might take a few minutes while Windows searches your entire drive.

    You’re looking for files like:

    Outlook.pst

    archive.pst

    personal.pst

    Let me know if you're able to find it.

    Best regards,

    Kimberly
