Compact Fails

J

I've asked a related question previously, but it covered other issues
as well and I didn't really follow through.

My wife's Outlook .pst file is rather large (160MByte). I realize that
it can safely get much bigger, but I'm concerned because even if she
deletes a number of messages - and empties the Deleted Messages folder
of course - the file does not compact.

Selecting File... Data File Management and compacting the .pst file
brings up the hourglass cursor for one or two seconds, and the file
remains unchanged in size.

Normal? Matter of concern? Anything to be done about it?
