I have a user who's OST file is about 47GB. But her mailbox is 4.5GB. And yes, she has already hit the 50GB limit. Why is the OST file so bloated? I have deleted her outlook profile and the ost file, then let it re-sync, but it still grows back to ~47GB! Couldn't find any large folders after searching, already emptied her deleted items. Tried turning off cache mode.. No help.
Only thing I have not done yet is compacting. Will compacting really get rid of 40GB of empty space? And from what I read, it takes hours & hours to complete? @47GB Probably needs to be a Friday night project then.
I know this problem is all over the web but I have tried just about everything I found. Hoping someone has another suggestion. Thanks!
