Do you have lots of notes in your file. Notes can take up quite a bit of
space since each note is allowed to be up to 1 MB (only used space is
counted however so short notes will use little space and long notes will
use a lot). Pictures will not add significant size because only the path
to the file is in the database and that is only a few characters.
Have you done a file maintenance recently. File > File Maintenance >
Check Repair will eliminate wasted space from deleted records and other
changes you have made which you later removed. The database manager does
not automatically recover space used by old records. I just did a check
repair in my own file and reduced it by almost 1 MB from 19 MB to 18 MB
with about 5,500 records.

I have fewer than 11,000 people in my database, but its size is 55MB. I
am amazed that it is so large.
Can someone tell me why?
