I follow instructions to compact my 14 gig PST file but it won't compact. After clicking it runs for about 10 seconds. No error message.

I have 200 gigs of disk space so that isn't a problem.

Any suggestions?
 
does outlook open with it in the profile? if so, open outlook and set the computer to not go to sleep then walk away for a few hours. it can take a long time to compact a huge pst and this worked for another user with a 50 GB! pst. it slowly compacted over a period of several days.
