In these circumstances, you will have to move your archive files and link it again to Outlook. So let’s see how that can be done. De-link and Move the Archive File Before you move the archive file we need to remove the link from Outlook. To do so, open the File menu and select the option Account Settings. In Account settings, navigate to the Data files section and you will see the archive file you have been maintaining on the current system.

Linking the Archive File To link the archive file to Outlook, open the Data File section once again from the account settings in Outlook and click on the Add button. Now import the PST file of the archive that you have backed up and open the emails from the archive section. Compacting the Archive File If you are saving the archive file on your local hard disk, you probably don’t need to worry about the size of the archive file, but if it’s a shared drive in an organization or a cloud account in which you have a limited storage space, compacting the archive file to save storage would be the prudent thing to do.
