empty file

Hello I have a problem with my ongoing project file. It was about 130mb large and was difficult to handle. So I tried deleting different stuff, decor, furniture etc to reduce the size. Nothing really happened. Finally I deleted everything from the file and it is still 88mb large. Does someone has the same problem? Why is an empty file still 88 MB large? Thanks to everyone who answers

2 thoughts: open with the repair option more than once; save asa PLA and use the export the library parts to a file on your desktop that you then delete.

Did you check to see what is in the embedded library?

Did you also delete all Layouts, Publisher Sets, Favorites? Attributes like symbol lines and symbol fill can also add significantly to the file size.
