Fixing - The file… - error in Outlook

Letting users work in the offline mode is one of the most attractive and unique features of the Outlook email client.

This is made possible with the help of the OST files. The OST files get the credit of allowing or let's say enabling users to work in the offline mode. By offline mode, we simply mean to say that the users are able to work even when there is no network connectivity. In more detail, the users can write emails, add or delete a contact and do lots more in the offline mode.

However, these OST files sometimes become damaged and corrupt and you are therefore not able to access any data present in them.

Now you must be thinking as to what you can do in order to resolve this issue.
Well, a lot can be done in order to resolve this issue.
Our first and foremost suggestion to you is to use the last, valid, and proper OST file backup to restore your valuable and precious data.

However, there are times when a proper and valid OST file backup is just not available. In such a scenario, you can use the Microsoft inbuilt utility Scanost.exe to repair the damaged and corrupt OST files.
