Default File size -

One of my colleague has been working on a pretty large file that initially 4
MB.
The file contains 15 sheets and each sheets has around 400 rows and columns
going up to "CC", almost all cells have formulas referencing other shhets. My
colleague said that he did little modifications but the file went from 4MB to
6MB and ending up to 12BM.

My question is : is there a way that determine if the size of the file is
normal (eg. do not contain "ghost" data) based on the number of cells,
formuals, formatiign....

Maybe an external tool ? Open.Repair ?
