I have Outlook backup it's .pst file weekly.

Some of my users have rather large .pst file (more than 700 meg)

I open the backedup .pst file in my outlook and delete all the old garbage
and when I do a folder size check, it shows that I have gotten it down to
400 megs.

I disconect it from my outlook and close my outlook.

But when I look at the .pst file in Windows Explorer, it still shows it as
being 700 meg.

What is casueing that?
anybody know?

You need to compact.
