Hi:

In an effort to manage the thousands of emails that I've sent and recieved
over the years I have created multiple smaller .pst files to create my own
'archive' structure. The primary reason for creating the additional .pst
files was to prevent the Outlook.pst (default) file from exceeding 2 GB in
size.

After moving ALL of the emails out of the Outlook.pst (default) file, the
file size did not decrease (2GB). Are the emails still saved, though
hidden, in the Outlook.pst (default) file even though they have been moved
out of this file? The only data that should be in the Outlook.pst file are my
Contacts and Calendars and they should only be a few MB in size.

Is there a way to 'compress' the Outlook.pst (default) file size to reflect
that all of the emails have been removed?

Thank you,
Paul
