If you create, modify or remove local/remote views, your DCT (memo file associated with DBC) will grow as any normal memo file would.

Open the database exclusively and modify it. From the VFP menu select Database - Clean Up Database. If this doesn't clean up the excess space, close the database and open it as a table (i.e. use mydatabase.dbc exclusive). Then issue a pack in the command window. This should do it.

HTH.
