2. Select the "Data File Properties..." in the context menu. The data file properties are displayed with 3 action buttons.

3. Click on the "Advanced" button. Advanced options are displayed.

4. Click on the "Compact Now" button. Outlook starts to compact the data file by removing empty spaces. It will take a few minutes to finish.
