I read your query and concluded that you are facing issues with NST file. You can simply delete that file by using the following methods –

  • You can simply delete it and make a new profile
  • Disable or remove MS Outlook Add-ins

As your NST file is corrupted You can remove the corruption from NST file using the manual method. The steps for this are discussed below –

  • Close the application and navigate to the location where NST file is located
  • Copy the required NST file by Right-Click on it and paste it on the desktop
  • You have to work on the copied file. Right click on the copied file and select properties
  • Go to General tab and change the file extension from .nst to .ost
  • Now, you can recover the OST file using Scanpst.exe
