Too much "fat" .kdbx even after things are deleted #1559

Six months ago I saved a heavy database (a zip file backup by SimpleX Chat) as attachment in KeePassDX. It was like 80 mb.

After I delete it, the KeePassDX .kbdx file has lost little weight, so I have a fat .kbdx with no heavy attachments within. My .kdbx is now about 120mb.

How to slim down it? Does it exists a vacuum function in order to remove the unused database spaces and compress it?

You are a genius! From 130mb to 59mb with this action. I have to control only all is ok inside.
