Successfully reducing size of .pst file

[fkissam]

I have a .pst file that is about 15 megs.

I have deleted several hundred messages. I have deleted all the
attachments. I have deleted just about everything. Then I emptied the
deleted folder. Then I used the COMPACT function within Outlook 2000. The
Explorer file size STILL says 15megs.

Has anybody found a successful way of reducing the size of this file?

Thank you!

The file size is extremely small. Why do you need to reduce it?
