dozza Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Outlook is working quite slowly nowadays - takes a long time to open and regularly crashes - and I feel this may be due to the size of the .pst file I've built up over the years.Nothing I do ever seems to reduce the size of the file. I delete documents and attachments both sent and received and the file just grows and grows.What, if anything, can I do about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolus14 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 The problem with pst files is even after deleting old email, etc. they never get rid of the space they previously took up. Here's a link that will tell you how to compact the file; http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;289987This will basically delete all the "dead" space i nthe file.
