Huge size of MS Project file

Question

Hi community,I received a MSP File with 184MB.The Plan has 5770 Activities / Milestones, and two baselines are saved.Besides that, there is nothing special in the plan, no formulas, just 2 text fields are filled...Does anyone has a good idea of reducing the size of this file?

ThomasvP&nbsp;Wow, just like Burger King, that's a whopper.&nbsp;Save the file as XML. Then re-open the XML file in Project. Note, you will lose any custom formatting with this process.&nbsp;You could also take a look at this Wiki article:https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/32054.ms-project-clearing-file-corruption-andor-bloat.aspxJohn
