The navigation pane displays your folder list and icons to move. See our in-depth guides on what to do when Outlook can’t access data files and how to repair an Outlook PST file that’s damaged or corrupted.

You can use the scanpst.exe (Inbox Repair Tool) to scan your data files and repair errors.

Occasionally, some of the data (PST) files Outlook stores may become corrupted. Note: Back up your data files before removing your old profile because selecting Remove means all your offline cached content will be deleted. Select OK and check if Outlook starts normally with the new profile name.
