Hi Tania;

When you delete a sheet of data from a file you noticed the file size has
increased. I assume you clicked the Save command from the File menu. What
you should do is click Save As and overwrite on the same file name. This show
the actual size of the stored file.

Assumption: What I presume is that although the sheet is deleted, the
application internally appends the content and stores at the end of the file
which is not available - visible - to be reused.
