Hi Paul, 

That's wierd. Can you check with Power Query, if there are tables stillnot deleted? 

And also clear the cache.

@admin11 , 

Check with yoyr main table,it might have large data. 

And also file size depends on Visuals and no of pages as well. 

If you have more pages and visuals file size will increase.
