Anyone know how I can recover a deleted .pst file on my c:\.

Bit of background - IT support decided to delete my user profile on my machine and recreate it... but they forgot to backup my .pst file that was in my outlook folder of my profile location!!

Fingers crossed that this is possible!!!

Help!, and thanks in advance..

...just restore your backup, but seeing that this wasn't done....
...use recovery software such as R-Studio NTFS. check this link and download the demo

You will soon see if it's recoverable. Do not install this software to the same disk that you want to recover data from. Your IT department should have software of this type. You have a better chance of recovery if nothing has been written to your hard disk since the removal of your profile. Your IT department can advise the correct procedure for data recovery.
