Size of encrypted Database

Oddly I mistakenly managed to copy an encrypted database into a group within another encrypted database. After finding and correcting the error by removing the “imported” databases from the group the file size of the target database remained bloated as if I hadn’t deleted the other databases.

as my drive is filling up I would like to get the original database size back. is there a way to achieve this? thanks.

Encrypted databases are based on sparse images and therefore can only get larger.

thank you!..so I guess creating a new encrypted database and moving the content from the “old” database should do the trick, though, correct?

That should work.
