Hi List, 

I'm having quite a large data file ibdata1 in \mysql\data. The file 
occupies over 500 MB, while all of my databases at the moment 
are fairly small (recently, i deleted some old databases).

I wonder how it is possible that this file gets so large, compared to 
the space the rest of my databases take. Does it, for example, 
contain lots of old data from databases since long deleted??

And I wonder if I can clean it up one way or another; it takes quite 
some disk space.

thanks, rinke
