Am I locked out of the App FOREVER?

Hey Guys!

 

So I recently a set up Microsoft Office Outlook, and I wanted to add another account of Gmail to it, as it had a Hotmail account already set to default. Now, the problem is that I saved the ''Personal folder'' in a directory that I permanently deleted, and now when I open Outlook, it says 'Personal folder not found' and asks me to browse to the folder manually.

 

So now Am I permanently locked out of the App?

If not, then can I just reset everything related to Outlook somehow, so that it forgets everything and asks me to configure it all over again (and I am fine with doing all the configurations again, so no shortcuts).

Create the "Personal" folder yourself at the location it expects it to be and see if it recognizes it? Otherwise, have you tried reinstalling?

The folder didn't work out.

How exactly can I reinstall Outlook? cause it was in a Microsoft Office 2013 Package, and came with Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, Lync etc. and therefore does not appear specifically in Programs and Features but as 'Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2013' that has all the Office Software (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, Lync etc.).

See if there's a "Modify" option amongst the uninstallation stuff for the package or a repair option in the uninstaller. Usually that'll allow you to repair or reinstall certain parts.
