The white space will be available after an online defrag is run, it simply won't show up as space on the disk itself. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pennell, Ronald B." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 9:24 AM Subject: RE: Exchange Delete
Whenever you delete users and mailbox's the database is left with blank space (white space) throughout the Information Store. Only way to recoup the space is to run an offline defrag, this will make the white space available for use.

The second partition is 12 gigs in size and there is only 2gig left until it is all used up. My information store is 8.5 gigs and I figured if I get some people to delete email that it would reduce the size on the second partition. The weird thing is that when I delete about 200,000 kb in a inbox I go back to the partition I see no change in size. Does anyone know how exchange uses space, or is there any documentation about this.
