I have a Photo Catalog database with 40k records (most of which are container/photo fields). The file is about 11 gigs. To cut down on hard drive space I am in the process of deleting 20k records. So far the delete script has been running for 4 days and only about 9k records have been deleted so far. Is this a normal amoount of time? Can this process be sped up?

Did you store the photos/files inside of your FM containers or just references?

I would think that it would make a huge difference when it comes to that level of mass deletion.

You're using FMP 7. It might be faster in FMP 8.0 or later.

Maybe clone and import would be still faster.
