When OT closes down, Data Maintainance looks at what was actually used, discards the rest and "compacts" the file. I hope that didn't sound too stupid, but that is how I might go about things, dimensioning a potential workspace and then filling it while in operation subsequently compacting the data (like a .zip file) finally for storage. From all your activity on the websites I would conclude that you might have with all your projects a much more substantial file created than might the average user.
