If you aren't using custom views, you can use the /cleanviews switch without worry. Sometimes its necessary, but sometimes just resetting the view for the current folder will work. When you open Outlook using the /cleanviews switch you will wipe out all custom views and return all default views to 'factory default'. Reset All Views in All Foldersįirst, you can reset the views for the entire mailbox.
Outlook 2010 and up: look on the views ribbon for the Reset Views button to rest a single view or use the /cleanviews switch to reset all views.
Many times users are told to 'reset the view' to fix problems with the display in Outlook but they don't know how to do this.
