outlook personal folder

[marilyn]

My personal folder is just over 2gb and I can't seem to
delete anything in the folder to make some more space as
the outlook software just freezes.

Is there a way of deleting these folders without the
software freezing

For earlier versions of Outlook 2GB is the max check out
http://www.slipstick.com/problems/repair2gbpst.htm for a tool that can be
used to crop some date, unfortunately this will result in data loss

If you can open the PST and see the messsages, then create new PSTs and copy
your old items to those PST, making sure none of them exceeds about 1.25 Gb.
Select one of those PSTs to be your new default delivery location and close
the old PST.
