how are you?.

I need to totally erase any trace from my computer of my actual outlook.pst file to been able to install microsift outlook 2007 again and then create a new outlook.pst where I will store all my mails, I need to have the .pst file and the microsoft outlook in a pen drive to been able to execute it in any wondows machine without install microsoft oultook 2007 on any machine. This is my goal.

How can I do that?

Update: There are the pictures that shows the problem.

.pst files attached in the account

.pst file actually configured

Thanks in advance for the help.

UPDATE 09/11/2021:

After I tried to eliminate de default .pst from the folder where it is stored, outlook shows a message saying that it can't be erased because I need to selecta a new default delivery file.

If I delete the .pst file directly from the folder after unninstalled outlook, then when I install outlook again and after open it for the first time, then outlook asks for the file outlook.pst.

I think some variable remains set even if I use a program like total unninstall to uninstall outlook, I don't know how to solve this last part.

Bellow is the image about this update:

Summarize vram's solution:

Erasing the profile worked to stop outlook (after installl the program again) to make outlook stop asking for the .pst file.

According to your description, I noticed that you want to delete the PST file. As far as I know, the screenshot you provided shows the location of the PST file. You can locate that path and delete your PST file.

In addition, I noticed that you want to create a PST file to store your emails. Please refer to this article if you need: Create an Outlook Data File (.pst) to save your information

  • Maybe you can try to remove the profile containing the pst file to check if there're any differences.(go to control panel>Mail>show profiles>remove the profile>OK.)
