"Unwanted" as in "you didn't ask for this". I don't even know whether there's a vcx cleanup that you can run, it's the other way around: you compile it, and Fox packs it (as an added bonus, or side effect). I see that often in my source control, when it says my checked-out vcx/vct has grown by a couple of megabytes while I was working on it, then I compile it and then it's actually shorter than when I checked it out.
