I am facing an issue with my Outlook PST file, which has grown larger than 50GB. When I try to compress or compact it, Outlook either freezes or shows an error saying the operation can not be completed. I have already deleted unnecessary emails and emptied the "Deleted Items” folder, but the file size still won't reduce much. Is there any reliable way to successfully compress or reduce the size of a large PST file (over 50GB)? Also, are there any recommended tools or manual methods to fix this problem without losing data?
