When deleting an attachement, the attachement is not removed, or the mail size don’t change even if the attachement appears as deleted.
The domino release is 5.0.12
Platform is Solaris.
Compact -D, Fixup and Updall has been done and the pb is not solved.
Somebody have a solution ?
Subject: Delete attachment and size doesn’t change
The database properties tabs doesn’t always reflect the actual size, especially if it’s on a server. (for instance if the deletion stub is still carrying the original document properties)
To determine actual file size, go to the server or local file system (lotus\notes\data) and right click the nsf icon of the database and get the windows properties. If you suspect the file size is still too big, make a separate (new) copy of the database and get the (windows) file size of that file. It should be smaller.

Hi guys,
I also had the problem and figured out where the problem is. The problem was a still existing field called “$FILE” which still was filled with informations of the original attachment.
I now created an agent with the following code and ran this over all documents where the problem was - here now the code for the agent:
FIELD $FILE := @DeleteField
That solved my problem.
