We have done some house cleaning in our Outlook 2002 file folders, but the
OUTLOOK.PST file has barely diminished in size from the original 260 MB
size. We have checked the folder sizes in the properties dialog for the
Outlook Today folder and we also emptied the 'Deleted Items' folder to
permanently delete all the deleted e-mails and attachments. We have also
run the Inbox Repair Tool (SCANPST.EXE) on the OUTLOOK.PST file and the file
is free of any corruption. None of these items seem to account for the
bloated .PST file size. Outlook 2002 opens very slowly and we assume it is
on account of the large .PST file size. What is going on here, is there a
reason our file remains so large after purging so many messages?
