>"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.

I just did a test. I removed several classes from a VCX library. Then I rebuild the application, choosing to recompile all files. And the size of the VCX and VCT of the library didn't change one bit.

UPDATE. I must have clicked on the Clean up Class Library before because when I open the vcx with USE commands, I see no deleted records. So my assumption that Recompile does not pack is probably wrong.
