This tool scans the entire OST file; if corruption is detected, it repairs the corrupted OST file. But it only fixes the minor corruption.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are the steps to begin the repair process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, close <strong>MS Outlook<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, to download <strong>SCANPST.exe<\/strong>, head to the <strong>File Explorer <\/strong>&gt; <strong>C: drive<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the<strong> search<\/strong> bar, type <strong>scanpst.exe<\/strong> and download it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After downloading the tool, open it and hit the <strong>Browse<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, select the damaged OST file and click <strong>Start<\/strong> to begin scanning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, if errors are found, check the <strong>Make a backup<\/strong> checkbox.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on <strong>Repair<\/strong> and then <strong>restart MS Outlook<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Limitations:<\/strong> Some of the folders or emails may get lost during the repair process. If the OST file size is large, the process becomes too slow and therefore takes a lot of time.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_02_Rebuild_the_OST_File\"><\/span>Method 02: Rebuild the OST File<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the SCANPST.exe method fails, rename the corrupted OST file. After that, Outlook will generate a new or fresh copy of the OST file. It is useful if the corruption is severe. Also, it resolves issues arising due to sync problems or incomplete updates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow the step-by-step process to fix corrupt OST file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, make sure to <strong>close the Outlook<\/strong> application completely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, head to the folder containing the damaged OST file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, either <strong>rename or delete the corrupted OST file<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After that, close and <strong>reopen Outlook<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>MS Outlook will rebuild a new OST file and start syncing the mailbox.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Limitations:<\/strong> The unsynced data will get lost while creating a new OST file. If the server mailbox is inaccessible or unavailable, a new OST will not be created. Many times, Outlook requires profile reconfiguration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_03_Reset_Outlook_Profile\"><\/span>Method 03: Reset Outlook Profile&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, OST file corruption occurs due to a faulty Outlook profile. If the Outlook profile is corrupted, it can misread the OST file.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the following instructions to start the process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, open the <strong>Control Panel<\/strong> on your system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, head to <strong>Mail<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Show Profiles<\/strong> and choose the existing damaged Outlook profile.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, click on <strong>Remove<\/strong> and then press <strong>Add<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, create a new Outlook profile and set up the account.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Automatically, Outlook will create a new OST file.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Limitations: <\/strong>If the server is having a problem, resetting the Outlook profile won\u2019t be helpful. It requires a full Outlook account setup again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_04_Disable_Re-enable_Cached_Exchange_Mode\"><\/span>Method 04: Disable &amp; Re-enable Cached Exchange Mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Is your Outlook OST file corrupted? Outlook uses Cached Exchange Mode to create a local OST file, improving speed and seamless offline work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow the step-by-step process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Launch the <strong>Outlook<\/strong> application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, head to <strong>File<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Account Settings<\/strong> &gt;<strong> Account Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, choose the <strong>existing Outlook account<\/strong> and press <strong>Change<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, <strong>uncheck Use Cached Exchange Mode<\/strong> and restart Outlook.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat the above steps to <strong>re-enable Cached Exchange Mode<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Limitations:<\/strong> This procedure requires Exchange Server connectivity.
