I am facing a storage issue on my system because my Outlook PST file has become extremely large over time. Due to this, Outlook has also started responding slowly, and I am worried it may get corrupted if the size keeps increasing. Can anyone guide me on how to shrink or reduce the size of a large Outlook PST file safely? I am looking for practical solutions ,whether it is Outlook’s options or any reliable tool, that can help free up disk space without losing important emails.

You can use BitRecover PST Splitter to safely divide large Outlook PST files into smaller, more manageable parts. It supports splitting by size, date, year, folder, or sender, works with all PST types (ANSI/Unicode), and prevents corruption or data loss. This helps improve Outlook performance and frees storage while keeping your mailbox organized.
