Default Reducing a size of the shared excel file

Hi everybody!

I have just created an excel file which is shared by few users.

I am surprised how quickly it is getting bigger.

At the beginning it had only about 1MB of size.

Now it is over 10MB and is still growing! (But the amount of data is
almost unchanged).

I thought that the cause of the problem was that the file tracked the
changes of the file. (There is an option which automatically switch on
when you share a file).
So I copied the data to a new file (again about 1MB) and this time
selected option to not track the changes (but still share the file).

But it didn't work. :(
The file is still growing.


Please could you help me?
How to stop the file from getting bigger?
The amount of data is not changing - only the values stored in the cells
are changing.

Any other suggestions how to reduce the file size would be very helpful.
(Not necessarily connected withe the topic of sharing file).

I tried for example to remove unnecessary columns and rows. But
deleting it does not work.


Thank you in advance for help.

Best regards!
