Cannot compact Outlook 2002

[Zorcon]

I want to compact my Outlook PST file. When I click <File> / <Date file
management> I get this error message: "There was an error locating one of the
items needed to complete this operation. It might have been deleted."

When I try to click the Advanced button on Personal Folders Properties I get
the error: "The operation failed. An object could not be found."

Is there any way to fix this? Would a new profile restore what is missing?

I would repair the data file first, then create a new profile.
