Locating the .NK2 file

[LMI]

I have been trying to locate my .NK2 file for the past couple of days, for
some reason i noticed that when i went to type some common e-mail address to
my to box It doesn't appear, when i did a hidden file search i noticed that
the .NK2 file was there but it was under the name default. In many examples
it shows that the .NK2 file always appears as .NK2 why in my case does it
appear as default?

Because your profile is named Default? Then your related nk2-file is
default.nk2

How do i change this to show my name?.....And why do you think my .NK2 file
for some reason got deleted?

Sounds like your NK2 file is named "default.NK2". Open Windows Explorer and
enter

%AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook

in the Address bar. Click Go. You should see the NK2 file.

Why would you want it to change?
You can recreate your mail profile and then give the profile your name. You
cannot rename individual files or mail profiles.

And why do you think my .NK2 file
for some reason got deleted?

Actually, why do you think it is deleted when it is still there? You said it
was called default.nk2
