Dont know where to post this topic but I'm curious.

I uses one of my solutions and deleted everything I could think of in the file, there should be nothing left. the file size is 828kb. I then created a new document and the file size is 52k. What is in the file that makes it so much bigger?

Thanks

Indices?

Hi, what you mean the index of the file structure or what referred to?

Save the file as a compressed copy or as a clone.

For performance reasons, FMP does not necessarily remove deleted data immediately from the file. Saving a compressed copy cleans it all out and fits it all neatly into the minimum number of allocation blocks.

Saving as a clone completely ignores the data in the file and only saves the structure.
