My first question is on the second ESEUTIL run di you run a defrag or did you run some other switch with it? If you did not run a second defrag after you cleaned out the accounts then that is your issue. MS Exchange does defrag automatically, but it does not compress automatically. In order to recoup the space you cleaned up you must run the ESEUTIL with the defrag switch.
