<div class="markdown_content"><p>I still have the same problem with Codesys 3.5 SP18. <br/> 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.</p> <p>Why is it doing this ? </p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>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.</p> <p>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...</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Why shouldn't the project grow after mutations? Why do you think this is not desirable?</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello,<br/> I'm facing an issue with CodeSys 3.5 SP16 about the size of .project files.</p> <p>What I did :<br/> - Create a new empty project<br/> - Add a random device (here I added "CODESYS Control Win V3 x64") (Initial size : <strong>114 KB</strong>)<br/> - Create 50 new empty POUs<br/> - Save project (New size : <strong>149 KB</strong>) <br/> - Remove all previously created POUs<br/> - Save project &amp; run <em>Clean All</em> (New size : <strong>118 KB</strong>)</p> <p>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.</p> <p>I found <a class="" href="https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/9151e820bd/">this post</a> on the forum that seems related to my issue but it never got any answers...</p> <p>Hoping someone has an explanation for this behaviour.<br/> Have a good day</p></div>
