check the recyclable space:
- searching for event 1221 in the Application log. This is a conservative estimate and it seems only includes the EDB file only.
- ESEUTIL.EXE /MS <databases.edb>
check the recoverable items:
- use Performance Monitor with a specific counter called: “Total Size of Recoverable Items”.
defragment to copy to a new database (need to be offline and 110% of free space):
ESEUTIL.EXE /D <databases.edb>
