mailbox size incorrect after dragging file on outlook

JoeBhoy

Hi,

a user here mistakenly (in trying to add a perosnla folder) dragged the file
onto outlook. The fille was 400mb.
now the mailbox size reports as 450mb - when you check the folder sizes in
properties the total size displayed is 450mb but when you drill down the
folders it only accounts for 50mb - any idea where this 400mb file is
strange!!!

Help

Joe.

Did you compact the PST?

No, although crossposting to the Exchange group may get you a better answer.
The space taken by the deleted message may still be allocated to the message
store in the server. Are you using offline folders otr cached mode?
