PST File Growing Madly

[Guest]

I thought I posted this yesterday but I guess it's gone. Let's try again. Since installing Outlook 2003 my PST has doubled in size. I've cleaned out deleted items, compacted the file and scanpst the file. Still doesn't get smaller

Any ideas

Thanks

Are you using the new unicode format for the .pst file? If yes, this is a
known issue since unicode requires more space than ansi.
