Deleted cases are maintained in the CSPro DB file, which is why the file size is not getting smaller. If you want to remove deleted cases, there are a few options, including:

1) Use the "Compact Data" option in Dictionary Macros: https://www.csprousers.org/help/CSPro/d ... acros.html

2) Open the file in Data Viewer and save it as a new file.

3) Create a batch application, don't add any logic, and then have the input file as your main file, and the output file will then be created without the deleted cases.
