Comment #27 on issue 16705 by albertod.zgz: User Data Grows Too Large (~2GB) http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=16705
Uhh... Was this not a known issue? Chrome remembers 90 days of history. Older entries get deleted from the "History Index xxxx-yy" files, but the files themselves do not shrink (by design). Eventually, they end up empty, but still consume dozens or even hundreds of megabytes. Running VACCUM on them is almost instantaneous and reduces them to a few KBs as Stephen said. It has been this way since forever and it struck me as an important issue as this will basically leak disk space continuously. The obvious solution is to delete the files after they have no more entries. If the files seed to stay for some reason, VACCUM is a quick workaround (and it's really, really fast on such empty files). -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
