Also for general knowledge: very long projects or projects with large numbers of assignments per task that then also have several baselines saved can get big. Combinations there of all can get large as the number of assignment timeslices that must be stored goes up.

I would suspect you have put a logo in the hearer or footer.
Deleting the logo does not reduce the size of the file.
Create a new project, copy the resources across, use Tools, Organizer for the filters etc, but if I remember rightly don’t bring the layouts across as the logo come across and then copy and paste the tasks.
