Disclaimer: my team is stuck using a 2-year-old version of Storyline (3.65.28121.0) because that's how government IT works. :/
\n
We have a large project that was outsourced to a vendor a couple of years ago due to lack of staffing. We are now revising the course internally, but are publishing only the interactions for an eBook course. So we'll take a large lesson file (100MB, for example) and remove all the slides except for the 2 or 3 slides that are a knowledge check for republishing. So the project file is now only 3 slides, with zero audio and zero graphics. Yet the file size is still 100MB. I've tried a Save As a couple of times with some success, where the resulting file is a more rational 700kb. But that approach is hit or miss. Often I just end up with a new file that's also 100MB. Clearly the project file is hanging on to a bunch of hidden cruft it doesn't need.
\n
I've also tried copying those 3 slides and pasting into a new Storyline file, but of course that results in formatting/design problems we don't want to have to fix manually.
\n
Is there a way to get these stripped-down files down to the appropriate stripped-down size?

Thanks.
As a bonus on Sams' approach. If you are not sure of big files that are used or not. Replace them with 1kb small files. You will notice the difference when reverting back to .story files
