compacting outlook data file

need help.

My outlook data file is at it's maximum capacity. So I've deleted a large amount of emails and although they have been deleted and cannot been seen in outlook they are still held in the data file and will not go until the data file has been compacted.

I've tried manually compacting the data file but nothing happens. I've read that it will periodically auto compact, but until it does this my emails are knackered.

Can anyone help or suggest why I cannot force it to compact?

cheers.

Can you not just create a new pst file and then get outlook to archive anything older than 6 months to that.

I'll have a look into doing that tonight, is it fairly straight forward to do?

I've limited IT knowledge and Google most things to find out how it's done.
