I am importing .bmp graphic files into my database.

I delete the graphic file after a few days.

The database seems to keep the data imbedded because the
database does not decrease in size.

How do I "purge" the graphic data so I an keep the
database in a smaller workable size?

Thank you
 
Access does not release space previously used. The only
way you can decrease the size of your DB is to compact it.

Tools/Database Utilities/Compact/Repairt Database.

another way is to check Compact on close in the
Tools/Options menu
