Waylander Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) Okay I am a moron who broke a number of basic IT cardinal rules Moving swiftly on. Here is the crux: home pc with standalone office 2016 install let's say we have 1 user W and another user say Mrs W that we'll call Z Z doesn't use outlook so I ages ago set her outlook to point to W's pst file Today I just set up an email account in outlook for Z and then thought hhhmmm she doesn't need all these folders in her outlook as they are only relevant to me So i deleted them - and yes I emptied the deleted items folder Logged into my account and realised the horror of my actions So here are my problems: 1) is there ANY way I can recover the deleted folders? I've used a couple of evaluation software such as pst walker and phoenix outlook pst repair. They see a couple of the folders but not 3 that I really want; 2) I want to remove W pst from Z's outlook but of course NOT delete it (any further); if I use the "remove data file" option does it delete it or simply remove access to that pst from that user's outlook?
