pbix file hidden content

Hi, I am new to Power BI. I have a question regarding the pbix file size. When I'd deleted all of the queries and visuals from Power BI desktop, then saved it. But found that the size of the file is still more than 5M.

Could you help me out? Thank you in advance.

    Hi xlin1,

     

    open the PBIX with a ZIP program (like 7zip) and check what causes the file size.

    Possibly a large background image.

      Thank you so much! I've seen the "layout", but how can I remove it? I've tried to delete from zip7, but the size still not changed.

        xlin1 - Perhaps rename the PBIX to ZIP, extract everything, zip it back up. Rename to PBIX.
