Hi, exchange 2003 sp2 std I have run out of space on my D: drive where my exchange folder is stored. I belive the public folder has been dublicated bye a user and therefore weve run out of space. How can i run a cleanup on the public folder to remvoe the duplicate public folder and free up space. thanks Mohammad

Do you see two copies of the public folder edb file on your D: drive? If so, find out which file is actually being used by looking at the timestamp or looking at the properties of the PF database in ESM. If you have two, and know which one is not being used, then simply delete it within windows explorer. Or are you talking about actual public folders within the same database being duplicate?

When was the last time you've run a full backup on your DB?Mark Morowczynski|MCT| MCSE 2003:Messaging, Security|MCITP:EMA 2K7,EDA Win 7,ES,SA,EA|MCTS:Windows Mobile Admin|Security+|http://almostdailytech.com

Please remove the duplicated public folder via ESM, and then run offline defragment against the public folder store to reduce the disk spaceJames Luo TechNet Subscriber Support (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/ms788697.aspx) If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tngfb@microsoft.com
