Hi guys,

Anyone have any advice on shrinking decks?

I have a plain deck (no music, pictures) and it is almost 8000 cards. It is about >30 mb now, and i want to shrink it without losing the anki tracked information of my reps. Do you guys have any advice on this?

thanks!

Pretty sure that the deck only stores the data it needs to. Why is this a problem? 30mb is nothing.

Ok thanks...

I think theres a lot of xml in each of the fields of my deck increasing the size to 20mb (which I wanted to shrink to make it easier on damians servers)

I appreciate the guidance, I will continue to do it as you advised
