This project contains links to one or more data sources
Apparently at some point you or someone else created imbedded links to the Project file. It could have been a hyperlink, the file was part of a master/subproject structure, a resource pool/sharer structure, or had cross-project links to another file, or perhaps had an imbedded image. Lots of possibilities.
Also, the fact that your file is also much larger than your other similar files indicates there may be corruption. I suggest you try each of the methods in the following Wiki article.

I have experienced the same issue when opening MS project files (.mpp) that were last saved in 2014, that have no links. I rarely use any links and experienced this with many different files over several years. One of the files I deleted all tasks, saved and when I re-opend it, I got the same message. I'm wondering if it is something within MS Project.
Any thoughts?
I never experienced that issue and I've been using Project for over 20 years, many versions. Did you look at the Wiki article I suggested?
For reference, what version of Project are you using?

I recently received a new computer, I am on Office (project) 365.
I started getting the pop up only when I got my new computer.
This problem occurs EVERY TIME I open ANY PROJECT file. My colleague opens the same files without the warning.... Hence, it should be PC / software setup not a problem with the project file.
