I have a database that I imported a large database into. The file size grew
too big and now I want them separated again. But, the file size of the
original database won't go down. What is going on?

TIA

Access does not actually relinquish disk space for deleted objects until you
compact the file.
 
How do you compact the file?

Thanks
