How do I clean a test file which size stayed big enough?

I've got a test file that was linked to larga data files and now those files were reduced in size. Due to the linkage, the test file size was 1.28gb; the fact is that now that the data files were reduced, the test file carries on with the old size and I cannot find a way to "clean it"

Hi Iñaki,

If your test file remains large even after the data files it links to have been reduced in size, it suggests that there might be lingering or cached data within the file that isn't being automatically cleared. Here’s what you can do:

1. Try clearing test results, your file may contain old test results that take up a significant amount of space. Clearing these results can help reduce the file size.

- Open your test file in MATLAB.

- Navigate to the Test Manager and find the results section.

- Select and delete old or unnecessary test results.

2. Reimport reduced datasets, If the MLDATX file directly references large datasets that have been reduced in size, reimporting these datasets might be beneficial.

- Open the Test Manager and locate any datasets or artifacts linked within your MLDATX file.

- Remove the current links or datasets.

- Reimport or relink the reduced data files.

Thanks,
