To fix a duplicate Outlook PST file, follow these steps:
- Identify the Duplicate PST File: In Outlook, open the File menu and navigate to "Account Settings" > "Data Files." Check for duplicate entries. If you find a duplicate PST file, you may want to decide whether to keep it or delete it, based on its content.
- Remove the Duplicate Entries: You can manually delete duplicate items (emails, contacts, calendar entries) from the PST file. However, this can be time-consuming if there are many duplicates.
- Use a Third-Party Tool: For a quicker and more efficient solution, consider using a duplicate remover for Outlook. These tools automatically detect and remove duplicate emails, contacts, and other items from your PST files, saving time and effort.
- Merge or Archive PST Files: If the duplicate PST file contains important data, you may want to merge the contents of both PST files into one or archive the older one.
- Prevent Future Duplication: To avoid duplicate PST files in the future, be cautious when importing data into Outlook and ensure you don’t accidentally create new data files.
