The simplest way is just to do as follows:
1. Create several PST files in Outlook.
2. Copy some data from your original PST file to the new created PST files.
To make everything clear, I just create PST files for several large subfolders in my original PST files, then move the contents of these subfolders to the new PST files, then compact the original PST file to reduce its size.
Hi,
There is no Automated tool as such in Outlook to split the PST files, We have to split PST by moving data manually. We can delete unwanted items from the various .pst files, and then compact the files to make them smaller.

Additionally, you can create new .pst files to complete splitting your large .pst file into several smaller .pst files. To do this, follow these steps:
- Create a new .pst files: Home>New Items>More Items>Outlook data file.
- Browse to the location where the file is to be located and type the File name, click OK.
- Create new folders in the new .pst file.
- In the folder that contains the items that you want to move to a new .pst file, click one or more items to move.
