November 20, 20196 yr Hi, when I upload a custom icon in Enpass, the vault/database file size increases on my local computer and on my cloud storage, of course. But when I delete an icon, it disappears, but the file size of the Enpass database doesn't decrease. Is the icon really deleted? This is the reason why I don't use custom icons yet, because I'd always increase the file size of the Enpass database file every single time I test whether an icon I upload looks good in the item list or not and I don't want that. Is there a way to completely delete an icon and restore the original file size of the database as it was before uploading the icon? Is this maybe a bug? Thanks in advance!
April 15, 20206 yr +1 for this. I think that the icon is deleted, but the DB is not compacted after the deletion (the space occupied by the icon's blob-data is marked as unused but not reclaimed). SQLite has the VACUUM command to perform this operation: https://www.sqlite.org/lang_vacuum.html
April 16, 20206 yr Hi @SVM & @lammoth, Thanks for your input. I have noted down this issue and notified the QA team to look into it.
April 17, 20206 yr Please implement the "vacuum" command. I've added a lot of custom icons and then, when I've seen a slowdown in synchronization, I started removing them, but the DB size didn't change... I've tried opening it with this tool ( https://sqlitebrowser.org/ ) to shrink/compact it, but it is password protected... So, in a long-term vision, this is a must-have feature: the DB cannot grow forever! KeepassXC performs it automatically when saving, while 1Password can compact the DB on-demand from the "Help" menu. Thanks.
April 29, 20205 yr Hi @pwd, Thanks for writing in. We have already forwarded the issue to the concerned team. Hopefully, a fix will be available in the future updates.
September 16, 20205 yr Anything about this? Database is still growing even when I remove stuff. What will happen when I do a factory reset and import the data that I just exported? Will the database shrink?
September 17, 20205 yr Hi All, Just out of interest when you say your databases are growing, just how large have they got?

I'm now at 858kB But even when I remove stuff it won't shrink It will just make it bigger. For me it's not a big problem yet but it will be. Edited September 18, 20205 yr by TREMOR
