Default Corrupt pst. file in outlook 2007

I have had this new windows vista computer for about 4 months and have been
running outlook 2007 just fine until this last week. Now if I try to delete a
message an error pops up saying for me to use scanpst.exe to correct problems
in my pst files it shows me a directory location but when I try that location
C:\users\robert\appdata\local\microsoft\outlook\ou tlook.pst.
there is no appdata file in the robert directory?
So how do I find the file and get it fixed?
