deleted folders

[Doug Pearce]

home computer - Inbox has 2 sub-folders. One of the sub-
folders was accidently deleted. It did not move into
the "deleted items" folder. Is there any way to
undelete/restore this sub-folder?

 

[Conrad Pfleging]

No

Can't pull it out of an archive.pst?

just finished writing a How To for this. It works as long as you haven't run
"Compact Now" on the folder already. Be sure you work with a backup as I do
not promise the results.

I hope this works for you too.


Restore Deleted Items from an Outlook PST-file


This guide will instruct you how to recover all your deleted messages since
the last time you ran "Compact Now" on a PST-file.



1.. Locate the *.pst file and create a copy of it to work with (never mess
around with original files!)
2.. Open the *.pst file in a hexadecimal editor. (I'm using UltraEdit for
this)
3.. In the column on the right side overwrite character 7 to 13 with
spaces. In the hexadecimal column (left column) block 7 to 13 will display
20 (hexadecimal value for a space)
4.. Save the *.pst file
5.. As you have now corrupted your pst file you need to run scanpst.exe to
repair it
6.. When scanpst has repaired your pst file open in it Outlook and look in
the Deleted Items folder or in the original folder to locate your deleted
items
