What size was the file originally? Are there any BLOBS or Images in the data? It does seem odd.
A couple of ideas I presume the records have been deleted and not marked as deleted Have you tried experimenting with the settings in the advanced TAB (I can't remember if this is available in v13) - particularly 'Force updating of the records' and 'Compact Address Table' - but both options might have consequences if your structure has changed a lot. What happens if you export the 6000 records and then re-import them into a new datafile - is there still a huge amount of space needed?

Using MSC I can to compact the data file, but the dimension remains over 100.000 Kb, and is not real because in the data file remain only 6.000 records. Data index is 700 Kb. I try even to use recover by tags, but the result is the same. Someone can explain?
