Mail.queue DB file is increasing continuously

I am using exchange 2016, its Mail.queue is located on C drive it is continously increasing due to which some times fail flow stopped and after restarting exchange services, it works. Current size is more than 14 GB. I have some of client who are using exchange 2010 and exchange 13, their mail.queue never increase while they have many mailboxes than this.

best would be Move the Mail.Queue database to a separate drive.

I do not want to change the mail.queue location.

I want to stop its increasing size. Generally if mail is processed, it should automatically get release from Mail.queue but I think either this is not happening or happening very late. I need your support to fix large size 14 GB of mail.queuque
