Hello,
I'm facing an issue with CodeSys 3.5 SP16 about the size of .project files.
What I did :
- Create a new empty project
- Add a random device (here I added "CODESYS Control Win V3 x64") (Initial size : 114 KB)
- Create 50 new empty POUs
- Save project (New size : 149 KB)
- Remove all previously created POUs
- Save project & run Clean All (New size : 118 KB)
Why doesn't the size go back to 114 KB ? Repeating this process will make my project size grow to very high values which is not desirable.
I found this post on the forum that seems related to my issue but it never got any answers...
Hoping someone has an explanation for this behaviour.
Have a good day

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Because after removing what I added, I expected it to be actually removed. It's not actually a mutation if you go back to the initial state of the project.
To make an analogy if I create a file on my computer and then delete it, I don't want this file to keep taking storage on my hard drive for no reason...
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I still have the same problem with Codesys 3.5 SP18.
Initially, my project is ~5 Mo. I work on it for like 3-4 days and it goes up to ~10Mo. If I make an export of the project and import it in a new empty project, it goes back to approximately 5 Mo.
Why is it doing this ?

Can someone try to reproduce the issue please ?
Why shouldn't the project grow after mutations? Why do you think this is not desirable?
