PST Size Stuck Even After Emptying Deleted Items: How to Fix This?

[Brantanson01]

I am facing an issue with my Outlook PST file. Even after emptying the Deleted Items folder, the PST size is not decreasing. The file size remains the same, and Outlook performance is still slow. I have already tried restarting Outlook, and I confirmed that all large folders are cleaned up, but the PST file size is still stuck. Can someone guide me on how to actually reduce the PST size? Is there any reliable method or tool to compact or shrink the PST without risking data loss?
