I have created a .story file and quickly realized that the 500Mb .story file was becoming too big to work with. So I split the file into two scenes by duplicating the file and deleting the slides. I deleted unused video in the Screen Recordings and I hoped that the files would be two 250Mb .story files. Instead I have two 500Mb .story files. Is there a way to delete or cleanup the unused media that seems stuck in the file?
Agree with Brian, I've gone from 250mb+ file down to 35mb+ file!
I also resized any assets in storyline that were scaled in storyline in photoshop and then replaced them (so they were the size i wanted on screen). Any images that were just copied and pasted into storyline i saved out from storyline as a png and re-imported. I also used local drives as well.

Hi Doug,
I had a problem similar to yours and my files even got bigger when I was deleting content.
It all was due to the fact that I was working on a network drive.
I have copied the files on the hard drive, opened in Storyline and just saved and the size went back to a reasonable one.
Hope it helps and have a nice day!

Hi Doug,
You may need to open each project & then publish to web. Upon saving & existing, the file size should shrink.
