I tried many times even after having turned off the computer overnight, but
the file size was the same.

Close Outlook. Open Outlook and take another look. I think that's all it
takes to show you the new smaller size.

I started out with pst file of 2.1GB. I deleted many thousands of old
emails from the InBox & Sent folders but the file size did not budge very
much. For example, number of emails in the InBox went down from 8,000+ to
3,000 or so!

Why did the pst file size not reduce significantly - I expected at least
50%+ reduction.
