Empty deleted items, now cant view any messages or folders
Hi,
I have a PST file with about 8 subfolders that is about 500MB in size. I did a "empty deleted items folder" on it today, and it seemed to delete *everything*, all messages and all subfolders. Only the deleted items folder (which is empty) is still visible. The actual PST is still there, and still 500 MB in size. I ran SCANPST.EXE on it, and it detected 1 error, fixed it, but there is still nothing there. Interestingly SCANPST.EXE summarizes that there are 8 folders but no items in the PST .. outlook shows no folders or items at all (except deleted items). Can anyone suggest how I might recover the messages in this PST? Thanks!

Aloha T,
Actually it's one possiblity for how emptying Deleted Items would have resulted in all of the folders disappearing. I suspect this PST may be irrevocably corrupted. Can you restore a good copy from backup? -Ben- Ben M.
