Hi all,
I am building a course on a local install of Moodle 2.2 (while waiting for a server to be set up) and have just attempted to do a back up of it so I can move it to the server. I found the back up to be massive, 900MB, and realised it was due to some videos in a repository I had set up being very large. I reduced the video size by about 75% and replaed them in the repository. I then ran the cron script to clean up old files, purged all the caches and ran the back up again. However I'm still getting a 900MB file!
There are no other large files used in the course.
What is happening here? And how do I fix it?
