Microsoft Outlook Pst File Location

I use Outlook 2016 as part of Office 365.I have 2 accounts configured within it. One is a Microsoft Exchange account connected to outlook.com and I use this only for 'Contacts' and 'Calendar'. The other is a pop3 mail account, used for email only. I recently noticed that the file location for the pop3 account (see attached screenshot) now displays as '? C:Users.rather than just C: Users.I'm fairly certain this has changed within the past couple of weeks, perhaps after an Office update?

I just wondered if anyone could comment or offer a suggestion on a fix? I've already done an online Office repair and deleted the pop3 account and recreated it, without any luck.
