[EA 15.2] Copied & cleaned project size is the same

[jack89]

Hi all,

here my scenario:

- project A -> size: 100 MB
- project B (copied from project A in which I deleted a lot of content inside it) the size is always 100 MB

Which is the main reason? In the project B there is much less content, but the size is the same of project A.
I deleted the elements from the project browser.

Thank you in advance

Jack, an .eap(x) file is essentially an access database.

The filesize is not directly related to the amount of data it keeps.

You can shrink the .eap(x) file using the option Configure | Model | Integrity | Manage .EAPX/.EAP file | Compact .EAPX/.EAP file...

Not really. It IS related. Of course xD

It's just that Access does not do any garbage collection until you start some utility (via the menu you pointed out).

That's wat "not directly related" means doesn't it?
Yes it is related, but not directly

Well, in a mathematical sense it does not. But language permits emphasis which when written is lost. "NOT directly" and "not DIRECTLY" are lightly different. Of course I was just a bit joking and everyone knows what you actually meant.
