There are the Replication Stubs, but they won't account for 4Gb lost. Then there may be holes in the database file. Did you check the database utilization, in the Preferences? And did you use one of the options that allow you to compact the database by copying it, thus releasing the unused space?

I am not from server team to check the utilization. They used Compact -B. Compact by copying means creating new replica or copy of the database and discarding the original later?

It is not showing 56 GB. &nbsp;I guess your point about &quot;the free space in a database should be released in a day or so&quot; is right.<br />

Thanks for help

We have removed around 6 GB size of documents but after compaction db size changed from 63.8 GB to 61.9 Gb<br />
What could be the issue here?

Lotus Notes db size issue

Lotus Software produced the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program, and later developed Lotus Notes, a groupware and email system. Following its acquisition by IBM, the Notes and Domino client/server collaborative platform were expanded to include functions such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contacts management, teamrooms, discussion forums, file sharing, microblogging, instant messaging, blogs, and user directories. IBM also release SmartSuite, a comprehensive office suite, and followed that with Symphony, unrelated to the Lotus suite of the same name.
