I am running MS Outlook 2016 under Windows 10 64bit on a desktop workstation, not connected to any server. Six months ago my .PST file was about 220 mb it has now crept up to 741 mb, where has all the extra data come from and how do I get rid of it? I am running SafePST Backup.

Thank you, Peter
 
Have you compacted your pst file? Start with that.

 
Thank you for your reply, yes, one of the first things I did.
