Can I purge the file in some way to force it to actually delete the points and all of their child tables?en-USTelligent Community 12https://communities.bentley.com/thread/744200?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 02 Dec 2022 02:22:23 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:65270d5b-be3c-46a1-a6a4-486695b40939Art Koenig<p>Hummm .. not sure what you mean. Are the points ( and their data) still visible in the project? When you delete a point, it does not delete the table itself, just the data in the table, including the data called Point ( Boring Name/#) The table structure is still there.<br /><br />I think you mean that the data is gone but that the file size on the file manager does not change ( much)? If that is the case the database is still holding the space fro what used to be there. Do a database Repair and compact and that should reset the size of the file.<br /><br /></p> <p>Does that change your file size on disk?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
