Disk space will not be reclaimed unless you defragment exchange database or move all mailboxes in it to new database and wipe out original.<br />
Moving mailboxes to new database will automatically compact the new database size resulting in reclaiming white space.<br />

So if I create a new database in the first storage group and move the mailbaxes to it I will realize the smaller size?<br />
<br />
How long does a defrag take?

Thank you all. The error event ID 1025 did not recur last night so it looks like it may have been a one time event. Thanks for all the other information on reclaiming whote space.

I recently removed a group of mailboxes to free up space on my Exchange 2007 server. 2 days after I removed them I saw an event error 1025 occur at the start of the daily Exchange maintenance. The event is attached. This is the first time I have gotten this message. Also disk space has not been recovered after removing the mailboxes.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any ideas?<br />
