The Evolving CAD File - How Do I Stop IT?

[thunderchunkydan]

I had a 80MB CAD file. This was excessive so I deleted a bunch of stuff from the drawing. Then I purged the file of all the old blocks and objects used, saved it, and closed it. When I checked the file size, the file grew! I repeated this again and made the file really trim - and now the file is 120MB!!! What is going on! The only thing I can think of is that there is some kind of internal "log" which is tracking everything. . . I guess I thought that when you closed the program, the log was reset. What can I do?
