I'm not really witnessing the same behavior. Have you tried doing a COMPILE CLASSLIB ?
We use VSS, and to keep the size of the files to a minimum, we always do this before checking in. It seems to strip all of the deleted records, etc.

The problem is that several of my vcx files (seems to be limited to visual classes) are retaining NON DELETED, inert (for lack of a better term) copies of objects and bloating my vcx files.

Then move all the classes to a new library with 'add class' or through PM and see if the total row-count goes down. > >TIA,
