Then you can try the same thing with the back-up file if everything else fails. Have you tried it a few times? Does Bento stop working every time when you try to delete the library after you re-start it? Sometimes it takes a while to delete a library. Make sure you wait a minute to give Bento enough time. I deleted many libraries in the past few days with Bento 3 and never had any problems. So it could be a corrupt database file in your case. Yiannis,

That's why I'm glad for any helpful comment I get. The problem is that the user's guide doesn't tell you that it works that way. I expected Bento to add and delete data on the fly, that way if the computer crashes, everything is saved. So I still think this doesn't work correctly. And it didn't work the way I handled it, that's why I posted my report: (Since I thought Bento would work on the fly because the data disappeared from the screen -) I renamed the database file after the deletion and reverted to the last back-up (I did not quit Bento). THIS way the reduced database file DID NOT shrink. I tested it one way and you tested it another way. I'm glad you found the right way which helps all users. Your comment is very much appreciated.

I just got rid of one of my libraries that was well over 500 records and it took my database size from 4.1MB to 1.8MB. Posts like this make me want to stop coming to this site.
