In esm go to the PF store properties page and limits tab. What is in the Deletions setting area, maybe something there is relevant? "do not permanently delete items until the store has been backed up" "Keep deleted items for (days)"
Long ago, we had the same thing happen (whitespace not being used and DB growing) - IIRC it was a combination of a hung backup and Online maintenance not getting a chance to finish- Pretty sure what we did was this- [1] Made sure a backup has been done,(or adjust those property page->Limits settings) [2] adjusted online maintenance window to run long enough to get 700 (online defrag start)and 701 (online defrag finish) events on that store. I don't remember if changing things on the limits tab meant an IS restart or not...

By moving it into dreaded PST files After the Exchange maintenance had ran at midnight I was expecting to see a fair amount of White Space in the Public Folders file. However when looking at the Event ID 1221 it says there is only 39mb of free white space and the pub1.edb continues to grow instead of using free white space. Anyone any ideas why this should be so?
