You can safely delete these (never the one called just "data"), but always make a safe backup of your file before doing anything inside the Contents. Thanks RickO. But it's possible that there would be one or more hanging around inside the Quicken file structure. There is a Quicken update a while back that was supposed to automatically delete these. These are old copies of your data resulting from old upgrades. You may see another large file called "data" but with a date or words appended. You can safely delete these (never the one called just "data"), but always make a safe backup of your file before doing anything inside the Contents. The only other thing there that may be very large is the Attachments folder (if you have lots of attachments). That is the bulk of your Quicken file and its size should be almost the whole 138MB. You will see a file there called simply "data" with a generic icon. Right click on your data file in the Finder and select Show Package Contents. There are many reasons, one of which is that they are easier to search in the finder.ģ. Just keep them in a separate folder structure in the finder. However, I really don't think it will change.Ģ. The backup files are compressed and there's a chance it will uncompress smaller. Given all that, there are some things you can check/do to possibly reduce the files size:ġ. There was a recent update in QM2019 that really sped up searches in large registers which pretty much eliminated that issue. With the modern Quicken database (2015+), file size really doesn't affect performance, except perhaps for register searches. If you split it, you won't save any disk space because you'll still keep the old file for reference, and then you'll have to switch files every time you want to look up something earlier than 2019. My QM2019 file goes back 20 years (starting from before QM2007) and is now almost 250MB.
