Hope the data isnt in the Deleted items folder after you deleted from Inbox or other folders :)

Could simply apply "Auto-Archive" in Outlook to move all data older than 4 months to some PST. Make sure that where ever the PST is there is Enough free space :)

You can reduce the size either by deleting data manually from the Outlook or also applying "Mailbox Manager Policy" but this will either move to deleted items or to "Dumpster\Permanently Delete" ....

Let me know if you still have some doubts or concerns :)
