do a search for all files including hidden files and look for this:
*.pst
Outlook files end in .pst
Once you find it, and there may be a few, copy it or them, wipe your drive, put them back and you should be good to go. However, next time, use the built in utility in Outlook to back up Outlook files:

File > Import and Export > Export to a file > personal file .pst

You can also use that to import saved files
