Default File size increase

When I delete a sheet of data from a file noticed the file size is
increasing. Need to know how I can avoid the increase of file size as the
sheet I am deleting is 15mb and increase the file size by 30mb
Need some help on this please.
Thanks

Shan

Default File size increase

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.
