check your 'deleted items retention period'
Exchange/Server/Storage group, call up the properties for the store, on the
limits page, 'Keep deleted item for (days)'. I think SBS defaults to 30 days
(maybe 7, forget, I run 90). I _think_ if you now set it to 0, restart the
store, then defrag it (offline), then reset it to something useful (your
choice), your store should shrink.
Mind you, now that it is under 16GB, just setting the retention time and
restarting the store will create a lot of blank space in the store (ie. the
files will still be ~16GB but incoming items will not cause the size to
increase), online defrag will consolidate the whitespace.
