Default How do I reduce the folder size of my calendar?

I was wondering if anyone knows how I can delete past attachments of/or
calendar items that are causing my calendar data size to be 5MB. Yes it is a
collection of 2.5 years of using Outlook. However I want to be able to go
back and delete anything that is old cumbersome and I don't care if I delete
it.

(Trying to reduce the size of my total Outlook storage allocation at work)

What you need to do is sort or filter by large items and by items with
attachments, then delete them or remove the attachment. You can either use
a custom view or advanced find. Or, if you want to delete all old items,
sort by date and delete those older than a specific date. If this is an
ongoing problem, set autoarchive to remove older or larger items regularly.
