Have you just tried compressing the personal folders after you deleted most of the stuff? There are options built into outlook for this.

I'm assuming you could also create another personal folder, copy all the objects up, and be done with the old one. The only problem is that at times, that can take forever. -----Original Message----- From: Jeffrey Robillard [mailto:jrobill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 11:31 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: How to decrease the size of a personal folder? http://www.MSExchange.org/ - Re-Vamped! pst works much the same way as the exchange store (and all microsoft programs). once it sucks up the space it doesnt give it back my suggestion... zip the thing up with maximum compression. probably will fit on a 1.44mb floppy disk after that -----Original Message----- From: Papito Miranda [mailto:papasito122@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 11:28 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] How to decrease the size of a personal folder? http://www.MSExchange.org/ - Re-Vamped! Hi all I created a personal folder(size 150Mb) that I cannot copy to a 100Mb zip drive, using Outlook 2000. To reduce the size of that folder, I deleted most of its content. To my surprise, the folder size remains the same. Any thoughts on how to decrease the size of my personal folder?
