APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows CE .NET 4.2
SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Windows CE .NET 4.2, after you remove records from a CEDB database volume, the size of the file that contains the volume does not decrease. If the database is temporarily filled with many records, the disk space that is used by the volume will not be available for other files later. You can only recover space by completely deleting the database volume file.
CAUSE
This behavior was expected in the original Windows CE Database (CEDB) volume design. The contents of the volume are compacted. However, the space that is reserved for the volume at its maximum size was not released.
RESOLUTION

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
MORE INFORMATION
The volume file size is reduced when the volume is mounted. To take advantage of this software update, you must unmount and then remount the database after records are deleted. Also, you must let the remaining records be compacted before you unmount the volume. Otherwise, no free space at the end of the volume will be available to remove from the file.
