Unexplained data size for file Geodatabase

ElliottCarson — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 03:57:14 GMT

Hi,

I have an automated python script that appends new data and removes old data from within a file Geodatabase.

If left unchecked the database size has grown to 14gb in total, however the total size of the four feature classes in the file geodatabase only ever equal 30mb.

Is there a reason why this is happening, is there some sort of trash collector that I need to deal with?

Any, all suggestions are welcome,
Elliott
