Hi team, I published my Rise course like normal this morning. It's nothing crazy and the output file is 193mb!! So, then I checked the assets and there are over 250 high-res images that I never imported into that course. I checked some of the images and it looks like it's coming from the background images and it's blowing out my file size.
I understand you encountered an issue where many high-resolution content library images not used in your course are added to your published output, and is increasing your file size.
We are able to replicate the issue and also logged it as a possible software bug.
As a workaround, you are correct that you can safely delete the unused images from the Assets folder in the published output to minimize the package's file size and still upload the course to your LMS.
We'll update this thread once this has been fixed.

Hi,
I'm seeing the exactly same thing.
I published a very small course with only a few small images and the SOCROM is 75 mb in size.
I found 60 random Content Library images (average 1 MB each) in the ZIP file which I have never used or seen before.
ok, I'm glad it's not just me. Its hella annoying having to go in, identify each image and delete the ones I never used.
It seems to be a fairly new problem.
Courses I published about a week ago did not have this issue.
I think you're right. My ones last week didn't do this.
