    File Size too big even after deleting all Workbooks in MS Excel 2016 File.

    In a large excel file, I deleted all the worksheets but still with blank worksheets the file size is of 0.5MB.

    I can't understand what is making the file size too large. Can anyone help? FILE ATTACHED

    Thanks in advance.

    Click on Data at the top -> Queries and connections. A panel will open on the right containing two tabs: Queries and Connections. Go into each tab and right click to delete them all. I got the file size down to 16 KB which is pretty standard new Workbook size.
