I cannot find the file path for outlook inbox

O

O.S.

My outlook is having a problem as it does not respond
once I get the initial screen. I wanted to reinstall,
but I need to backup my inbox. Since I cannot do
anything in outlook, I cannot find out what the path is
for the inbox. I have tried to search for various file
names in file explorer, but have not been successful.
Thanks for anyone who can help.

After making certain that you can view hidden files, search for a file with
a .pst extension. That file contains all of your Outlook data and is the one
that you need to back up.
