When the size of the PST file exceeds its memory capacity, then the working of the MS Outlook becomes very slow. Sometimes the Outlook may not response for a very long time. As a result of which, a lot of our time is wasted while accessing to any items stored in that oversized PST file.
Sometimes the size of the PST file becomes so large that you cannot access any contents that are stored in that particular PST file and every time when you try to access that PST file, it gives you an error message. Some of the commonly displayed error messages are:
- Errors have been detected in the file
- Close the file and use Inbox Repair Tool
- The file has reached the maximum size limit
- Unable to open the desired PST file
You can get rid of the above error messages and access the data stored in that oversized PST file by going through any of the following methods mentioned below:
Oversized PST Crop Tool
This tool truncates the PST file into a smaller PST file. It means that this tool reduces the size of the PST file by deleting all the unwanted mails, messages, contacts etc from the PST file and creating enough memory to get you access to the contents of that PST file. Before you use this tool, you need to keep in mind that there has to be at least 2GB of free space on the hard disk and there should be backup of the oversized PST file. The only demerit using this cropping tool is that you would need to compromise with your data. Whether you like it or not, you would have to delete some data from that PST file in order to access to the contents that is stored in that PST file.
PST File Splitter
This is the best and the ultimate tool for you. Unlike PST Crop Tool that deletes the items from the PST file in order to get you access to that PST file, the PST File Splitter splits the oversized PST file into the smaller respective PST files. The software first scans the oversized PST file and then through a sophisticated set of algorithm and programming, breaks down the oversized PST file into the smaller PST files.
The benefits of using this Split PST file software are:
- Splits file size up to 20GB into smaller PST file
- Compatible for all the versions of Outlook and Windows
- Does not corrupt or damage the PST file
- The splitting of the PST files is very quick
