.pst file disappeared cancel copy

[spar74]

I was moving files from one drive to another. I did not notice I had my
backup.pst in my file selection and I started to copy to my c:\ where my
current .pst is. I cancelled prior to completion. However, when I went to
look for my .pst file it was gone.

Any chance to recover. I've tried several tool but have not had any luck.

Aside for that you are looking for a pst-file, this has nothing to do with
Outlook itself. Your operation took place in Windows Explorer.

Anyway, cancelling a copy or even a move doesn't delete the original. There
must have been something else that you did. Permanently deleting a file
without (double) confirmation is not possible. Check your Recycle Bin and
virus scanner quarantine. Otherwise, restore from backup or ask in a file
recovery newsgroup.
