Local database size doesn't decrease after deleting diagrams and elements

[MatthiasVDE]

I'm testing with a script that create diagrams based on a CSV input. After each test I delete all the diagrams and elements that are created.
But when I look in the windows explorer to the size of my eapx file, it becomes bigger and bigger... I looks like the data is nog effectively removed after deleting all the diagrams and elements in my project browser.

I'm using EA 15

Matthias,

.eapx is a (MS Access) database. If you delete stuff the allocated space is not released.

If you want to decrease the size of your .eapx you can do a compact. That will release the not used allocated space.

Thanks Geert, I suppose that I need to to this in MS Access?

You can, but you can also do it under Configure | Model | Integrity | Manage EAP/EAPX

This is valid up to the current version (v15.2 b1544).  I checked before I posted.

I meant a different "under" ;-) So in previous versions the menu path is different.
