Windows 10: Why is Outlook storing files on a non-existent directory?

Windows 10, Version 10, Build 18362.418,
Outlook 2013 (Part of office 2103) .

I have a pst file stored at
C:\Users\Julian\Documents\Outlook Files\L: [email protected]

I have a Storage drive where my backups are stored. I also keep a complete image of from my last PC that was replaced by my current PC.

This afternoon I was searching for pst file and found four seperate files, named L: [email protected], all with a time stamp a minute old. Why.

Why is this happening?

TIA

Lots of Should-Be Non-existant Files

thanks. i scrolled through the first 500ish and moved most to a remote directory. if that goes well for a while, i'll delete that directory and move on to the next 500ish in the list.

theres no point in leaving those empty files right? the ones that contained data i actually looked through, but the rest i just selected them all and moved (soon to be deleted).

 

Directory Size Utility

First of all nice utility, Mindweaver!
Second of all, it's so nice to see that this section ain't dead.

I have a few questions/suggestions, maybe you'd want to see ...

• maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that?
  
• Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs)
  
• maybe you also add export list to excel?
  
• there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too?
  
• and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories?

 

Outlook PST File Problem

That is exactly what I was going to suggest. Export everything to another PST file, delete the old(or rather move it out of the default folder) and replace it with the new PST file that you exported.
